Iga Swiatek has just won 6-2, 6-0 against Viktoraja Golubic in the second round of Miami Open. This victory is enough for her to succeed Ash Barty at the No. 1 position in the world. The reason is because Ash Barty has suddenly retired at the age of 25, and Swiatek naturally from the No. 2 was promoted to No. 1 in the world.
Swiatek will officially become the youngest tennis player in the world since the case of Caroline Wozniacki in 2010. Although only 20 years old, Swiatek is conquering the most difficult milestones. She has a series of 12 wins, the best achievement in her career.
Thanks to this series, Swiatek won the WTA 1000 championship in Doha and Indian Wells. Latest, she goes to No. 1 on the WTA chart. With a 20 -year -old player, these are extraordinary milestones.
But the way she received the number 1 position in the world was strange. She used the word “bizarre” to talk about Barty suddenly retired and she replaced it in the top. Polish player shared: “That feeling is so bizarre. I am the number 1.”
“One thing is that I have never really imagined that moment because I honestly said, I just wanted to work every day and play well. And I never dared to believe that (to the number 1 in the world) really possible. Therefore, it is even more bizarre to me.
I love every moment of it. For me, it is important that the fans really support, they are really excited. I'm just enjoying everything because I don't have any expectations. “
