It took World No.1 Iga Swiatek a little time on Monday, June 26, to acclimate to the grass under her feet in the first round of the Bad Homburg Open. But only a set.
Swiatek, who won the French Open on the clay courts in Paris earlier this month, won her first grass-court match of the season against 2022 Wimbledon semifinalist Tatjana Maria 5–7, 6–2, 6–0 in Bad Homburg, Germany. Swiatek now has a 36–6 record this season.
