Defending champion and world No. 2 Iga Swiatek delivered a masterclass performance at Indian Wells, defeating Caroline Garcia 6-2, 6-0 to storm into the third round. Swiatek’s dominance was on full display as she won the last nine games and eight consecutive points to close out the match in style. Tennis fans around the world couldn’t stop raving about her flawless execution and incredible form.
From the very first game, Swiatek established control with her aggressive baseline play and signature topspin-heavy shots. While Garcia initially put up some resistance, it wasn’t long before Swiatek took over, breaking serve and dictating the rallies with her impeccable footwork and precise shot placement. By the end of the first set, she had built a comfortable 6-2 lead, and from there, she never looked back.
The second set was a complete dismantling of Garcia’s game. Swiatek’s intensity only increased, and she refused to give her opponent any breathing room. The Frenchwoman, known for her powerful serve and attacking style, simply had no answers for Swiatek’s relentless consistency. The match ended in just over an hour, with Swiatek delivering a stunning bagel (6-0) to cap off her dominant victory.
### **Fans in Awe of Swiatek’s Brilliance**
Social media erupted with praise for Swiatek, with fans calling her performance “gorgeous” and “unstoppable.” Many admired not just her technical skill but also her composure and ability to completely shut down an experienced player like Garcia.

### **What’s Next for Swiatek?**
With this win, Swiatek moves on to the third round, where she will face Ukraine’s Dayana Yastremska. The two have met twice before, splitting their head-to-head 1-1.
