Iga Swiatek keeps her foot on the accelerator in her adventure at Indian Wells 2025. The Polish player hurried to win without pauses against Karolina Muchova, without any rain delays, closing a match that could have been very close in less than an hour of play. Minutes after her victory, Iga went to the press conference to comment on the decisive result, as well as to be questioned about political issues.

Clear triumph over Muchova

"I felt I could lead from the start, and I also didn't make many mistakes," Swiatek confessed to the media present. "I didn't want Karo to display her tennis, and I'm happy I managed to prevent it until the end. Sometimes matches can be quite odd. It's enough for one player not to feel perfect and the other to feel great for the difference to be much bigger than normal. We trained a week ago, and the level was quite similar. Today I was quite accurate and calm."

Political situation involving Poland, Ukraine, Russia, and the role of Trump

"I know what's happened on Twitter with our minister, but I don't think I'm in the right position to talk about politics. We live in a very complicated world, and tensions are very high. I've talked a lot about Ukraine, and everyone knows my opinion. I'm aware of what's going on."

Changes since her defeat in Dubai

"Everyone gets upset when they lose. I expected better results in both Doha and Dubai. In tennis, it's important to leave it behind and focus on the future, and I've done that quite well. I don't expect to win every tournament. After Dubai, we had more time to train. The balls were terrible in Doha and Dubai; they felt like potatoes, so I focused and trained here to feel a bit better."
