"I want to thank my team and my family. It's not easy to play in Warsaw, but I'm so happy that we could manage and do everything we could today, after a pretty tiring day yesterday. I wanted to put it all in and go for it. I'm pretty happy that I did" Swiatek said in her winner's speech as cited by wtatennis.com.
Swiatek led 5-2 and had three match points at 5-3 in the second set when the match was stopped on Saturday night owing to darkness. She was deuced serving down 6-5 and two points away from being forced to a third set when play resumed. She needed three more match points in the tiebreak after nearly blowing a 5-1 lead to win.
The World No.1 faced no trouble against Siegemund as the match lasted just 68 minutes. She broke Siegemund five times and never faced a break point to improve to 2-0 against the German all-time. 
"I'm sorry I couldn't put up more of a battle today, but it was a little bit too much yesterday. I tried my best, but the legs, they stayed at the hotel today." Siegemund said after the defeat. 
"But for me, it was really a great success anyway ... it was almost a win for me to be a final at all. It's been a long time. On such a great stage with such great spectators ... I just enjoyed it." (ANI)
