However, the six-time Grand Slam champion was not 100% fit, as Swiatek struggled with a foot injury<\/a> that prevented her from practicing much.<\/p>\n Swiatek\u2019s coach has named his favourite match of hers this year<\/a>, but she has not even placed it inside the top five. <\/p>\n Swiatek fell to her lowest ranking in three years<\/a> back in June after failing to win a title in over a year.<\/p>\n Despite this when asked to name her top five favourite matches from the 2025 season, Swiatek<\/a> picked three matches from the first half of the year.<\/p>\n In fifth, Swiatek picked her comeback win over Madison Keys in Madrid<\/a>, where she lost the first set 6-0.<\/p>\n Swiatek won Wimbledon<\/a> to end her title drought in July, and she has placed her semifinal victory over Belinda Bencic<\/a> in fourth.<\/p>\n Then going back to the start of the year, Swiatek put her win over Elena Rybakina at the United Cup<\/a> in third, before picking her Roland Garros<\/a> victory over the Kazakhstani in second.<\/p>\n There could really be only one match that she put in first place and that was Swiatek\u2019s 6-0 6-0 win over Anisimova in the Wimbledon final<\/a>.<\/p>\n When reflecting back on that match, Swiatek claimed it was her best ever match on grass courts, which is a surface she has previously struggled on before this year.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it was the best match I have ever played on grass,\u201d said Swiatek. \u201cThe way I handled the pressure because I was stressed before the final and also the day before, waiting for this last match. I came on court with a clear vision of what I want to do and how I want to finish the tournament.<\/p>\n \u201cI used all the experience I had from my last matches at Wimbledon and made it work. And obviously I\u2019m proud I won Wimbledon!\u201d<\/p>\n Iga Swiatek\u2019s route to the title at the Korea Open<\/p>\n Despite her struggles with a foot injury, it has not taken Swiatek long to return to the WTA Tour<\/a> as she has entered the Korea Open.<\/p>\n The tournament in Seoul has been heavily disrupted due to rain, but Swiatek is now confirmed to play tour-veteran Sorana Cirstea in the second round.<\/p>\n Swiatek is unlikely to feel threatened by playing Cirstea, as she has won all five previous meetings against the Romanian. <\/p>\n Korea Open 2025Iga Swiatek\u2019s Potential OpponentFirst RoundReceives a bye as the top seedSecond RoundSorana CirsteaQuarterfinalEmma Raducanu (8)\/Barbora Krejcikova\/Jacqueline CristianSemifinalClara Tauson (3)\/Sofia Kenin (7)\/Maya Joint\/Eva LysFinalEkaterina Alexandrova (2)\/Daria Kasatkina (4)\/Diana Shnaider (5)\/Beatriz Haddad Maia (6)<\/p>\n Some of the other threats to Swiatek at the Korea Open this year include Emma Raducanu<\/a>, Barbora Krejcikova<\/a>, Clara Tauson and Ekaterina Alexandrova.<\/p>\n![\"Iga](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2224797496-1024x683.jpg\")
