JAKARTA – World number two Iga Swiatek earned her 60th win of the calendar year to reach the third round of the 2025 Wuhan Open.
A week after losing early in Beijing, the Polish tennis player bounced back with a convincing 6-1, 6-1 victory over Marie Bouzkova on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, evening of Western Indonesia Time (WIB).
Swiatek was actually the top seed going into Beijing, but she lost in three sets 6-4, 4-6, 6-0 to Emma Navarro of the United States.
"There are a lot of tournaments where you win one week and then lose the next. So, it's disappointing. It's hard to win consistently," Swiatek said, as reported by the WTA.
Swiatek dominated Bouzkova's serve, winning 31 of 51 points and breaking her opponent's serve six times in the 79-minute match.
The latest result gives the 24-year-old a 2-0 win-loss record against Bouzkova. On the other hand, this loss means Bouzkova has a 0-7 win-loss record against top 10 players this year.
"Every tournament I play, I want to play my best, and sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. But, yeah, my expectation is to do my best," said Swiatek.
Swiatek is one of the most consistent players in world tennis. She has played in 17 tournaments this year and won three titles: Wimbledon, Cincinnati, and Seoul.
Swiatek's 60th win in a calendar year makes her the only woman this century to achieve this feat four years in a row.
Martina Hingis (1997-2001) and Lindsay Davenport (1998-2001) were the last women to achieve this feat.
Overall, this was Swiatek's 100th win in 153 matches. Only Serena Williams (144 matches) has achieved that victory in fewer matches.
Swiatek will next face the winner of Belinda Bencic's match against Elise Mertens. The two will meet on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. WIB.
