And with that win, she achieved a big first.
Swiatek is now the first woman to win 60 or more matches in four consecutive seasons this century, having recorded 67 wins in 2022, 68 wins in 2023 and 64 wins in 2024.
The last two women to achieve that feat—Martina Hingis and Lindsay Davenport—did it across the last two centuries, the Swiss doing it five years in a row from 1997 to 2001 and the American four years in a row from 1998 to 2001.
