After her win, hearing Poland’s national anthem made Iga emotional. At the post- match interview she said, “I want to thank my team. Oh my god! Without you I wouldn’t be here. I’m glad every piece is coming together. Thank you for the full support, no matter what, all the time. Also to my dad! I wouldn’t be in the world without you. My sister who is at home. Everyone who is in the box. Thank you!”

She added, “Two years ago this was something amazing. This time I’ve worked hard, and did everything to get here. Thank you to the fans for coming. All the Polish flags! Good to have you all here. Thank you tournament director, FFT, it is always a pleasure to come back, there is extra motivation.”

“To Ukraine, stay strong. The world is still there. (crowd applauds) Since my first speech in Doha, I thought the situation will get better. But it’s still there…. I hope to be back next year!”
