Iga Swiatek became emotional after winning the Italian Open

As Ons Jabeur was serving to stay in the match, Iga really didn’t give her a chance. She broke her serve in the second set by 6-2 to win the match in straight sets. As soon as Jabeur’s shot hit the net, she broke down in tears. She was on her knees and crying in the middle of the court. Later, she met with her team members and gave them a big hug.

Clearly, it meant a lot for her to win this tournament. Previously, she didn’t play at the Madrid Open due to an injury. So, there were a lot of questions coming into this tournament. Now, probably she gave answers to every question by lifting the title for the second time in her career. After the match, she joked, “Today I’m going to celebrate with a lot of tiramisu, no regrets.”
