Iga ¦wi ± tek won the fourth tournament in her career. The Polish woman in the final of the event in Ducha did not give Estonka a chance, beating her in an excellent style in just 66 minutes 6: 2, 6: 0.
Świątek earned PLN 1.5 million
Both players have faced each other four times so far. The balance was drawn: 2: 2. First, an Estonian won twice, and then a Pole twice. In the last game of Christmas, she defeated her rival in last year’s US Open 6: 3, 4: 6, 6: 3.
after the victory, he will return to the highest so far, fourth place in his career. The Pole was in this position in September last year. Świątek will lose only 77 points to the third place – Aryna Sabalenka.
Promotion was not the only award for Poland. The most tangible reward is, of course, the financial bonus for winning the WTA 1000 tournament. For winning the final, the 20-year-old received PLN 380,000. dollars, or about PLN 1.5 million. Even if Świątek lost to Kontaveit, she would earn almost a million zlotys.
The media reports that thanks to her successes so far, despite her young age, she has already earned USD 5.5 million, i.e. almost PLN 22.5 million.
However, the words of the Polish woman, which she placed on social media right after the victory, echoed quite a lot. It can be safely said that in this situation, the awards and the sport itself are not the most important for her.
– Great support for Ukraine, for those who suffer there. I can’t even imagine this happening in my neighboring country. Hope all of this is over soon. Sport is irrelevant in the face of what is happening in Ukraine. I believe this country will be safe soon. May sport bring us all together and give us joy – added Świątek.
