Iga Swiatek matches Steffi Graf's incredible Indian Wells record as she eyes 2nd tournament win

Iga Swiatek is now tied with Steffi Graf for the highest win rate at Indian Wells with her win over Marta Kostyuk in the semifinals.

Swiatek defeated Kostyuk in the semifinal 6-2, 6-1 to set up an encounter with Maria Sakkari in the final. The Pole is chasing a second title in the tennis paradise, having previously won the title in 2022.

This year's final is a 2022 rematch, as in 2022, Swiatek defeated Sakkari 6-4, 6-1 to clinch her first title in the desert. Swiatek and Sakkari both have reached three consecutive semifinals here.

Ahead of her final, the Pole has registered yet another impressive record. She is now tied with German legend Steffi Graf with the highest win rate of 89.5% in women's singles at the Indian Wells (Min 15 matches).

Swiatek has won 17 matches while has lost two at the Indian Wells. Her losses came at the 2021 Indian Wells 4R and 2023 Indian Wells Open SF.

The World No. 1 has never lost a match at the WTA 1000 tournament when she won the first set, accumulating 68 wins and zero losses after winning the first set.
