Swiatek gets revenge and wins a bronze for the history of Poland

Iga Swiatek leaves the Paris 2024 Olympic Games making history. Surely she expected and demanded more, a gold medal that faded away after losing in the semifinals against Zheng, but today the Polish player avenged that match and secured the bronze medal for her country. She did it with the solidity and decisiveness that characterizes her, dominating the big surprise of the tournament, the Slovak Anna Karolina Schmiedlova (6-2, 6-1). With this triumph, Iga gives Poland its first medal in Olympic tennis history. A milestone for Polish tennis that will make Swiatek leave Paris with a better taste in her mouth.
