Swiatek's championship drought heralds being thoroughly studied by opponents?

After two days of battling, the Indian Wells Masters men's and women's singles finalists were announced, with defending champions Alcaraz and Swiatek both losing in the semi-finals.

The former played a surprising duck egg and fritter score in a much-anticipated matchup with Draper, and although he broke an opponent's serve to win the game, he was finally eliminated after digging too deep in front of him.

In Women's Singles, Swiatek lost again against Andreeva. In this way, the world No. 2 has continued its title drought in nine months since winning the French Open last year. And if you exclude the team competition of the United Cup, she has not even reached a final. So, who did Poland lose to in these games?

Wimbledon 2024: Lost to Putintseva in the third round

Wimbledon remains Swiatek's worst Grand Slam so far. After successfully defending her title at last year's French Open, the Pole was also eager to make a splash at the All England Club, but the reality was brutal and she was knocked out early in the third round.

Paris 2024: Lost to Zheng Qinwen in the semifinals

If the grass is Schwartek's sad place, then the red clay, especially Roland Garros, is definitely the back garden of the Poles. Last year's Paris Olympics was a once-in-a-lifetime event, but she struggled to defeat at Roland Garros, but she lost unfortunately when facing her first sister in Asia, Zheng Qinwen. How hard did this match hit Swiatek? This can be seen from her crying after the game.

Cincinnati 2024: Semifinal loss to Sabalenka

2024 US Open: Lost to Pegula in the quarterfinals

In the past, Swiatek has also won the US Open once. In the absence of a clear advantage in strength on hard courts, it is also predictable to lose to two old opponents and in a crucial round.

2024 Finals: 2-1 in the group stage and failed to qualify

Swiatek, who has already missed out on the regain of the ball and is physically and mentally exhausted, appears in the year-end finals, and seems to be at the end of his power. In the end, she failed to achieve the goal of sweeping the year-end finals that year and overtaking Sabalenka to regain the year-end world number one, and instead was eliminated from the group, although she also won two games.

2025 UEFA Cup: Helped Poland finish runners-up

Once again, Swiatek failed to lead Poland to the top of the United Cup. Of course, there is one regret, but fortunately, Djokovic won the Olympic singles gold medal and Swiatek can really continue to attack.

2025 Australian Open: Lost to Keys in the semi-finals

Doha 2025: Lost to Ostapenko in the semi-finals

Dubai 2025: Lost to Mila Andreeva in the quarterfinals

2025 Indian Wells: Lost to Mila Andreeva in the semifinals

This year's tournament was different, with a missed match point loss to Keith at the Australian Open and a repeat defeat in Doha against old rival Ostapenko. Two defeats to Andreeva seem to indicate that her game has been thoroughly studied by her opponents.

After the Miami Masters, the focus of world tennis will shift to European clay, where will Swiatek be able to bounce back?(Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
