Being on tour for two weeks, it’s tough. Thank you to my family as well; so many came from Poland and I feel the love.

The top seed dropped serve in the seventh game but broke back instantly and produced a tight hold to inch closer to the title, which she wrapped up when Muchova double faulted.That sparked emotional scenes on centre court as Swiatek shed tears of joy before joining her family in the crowd for a celebration.
