Iga Swiatek managed to defeat Tatjana Maria 5-7, 6-2, 6-0 in her first match as a preparation for the Wimbledon at Bad Homburg Open.<\/p>\n
The Pole didn’t have it all her way as her much lower-rated opponent dictated the pace in the first set and deservedly led by 1-0.<\/p>\n
However, the world No.1 class showed just in time as she managed to turn the match around, comfortably clinching the next two sets.<\/p>\n
She broke Maria early in the second and third sets to accelerate to victory and set up a second-round meeting with Switzerland’s Jil Teichmann.<\/p>\n
Swiatek has never managed to pass the fourth round of the Wimbledon, but her success at the French Open, despite being a completely different court, makes her one of the favorites for this year’s edition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
