A unique idyll that could make history. That's how we can define the relationship that Iga Swiatek has with the event held in the Californian desert. The Polish player is defending her title at this Indian Wells 2025, aiming to become the first woman to win three championships in the event's history. She explained why she feels so comfortable here.

Ideal conditions for her game, a sense of reboot in the season, and sky-high confidence. These are the ingredients that season the superiority of Iga Swiatek over the rest of her rivals in the Californian desert. She comes to this Indian Wells 2025 with much to prove after a few difficult months, both in terms of sports and personal aspects, due to the doping suspension she received which caused so much controversy.

"It's great to be back at one of my favorite tournaments. I've been working hard this past week to arrive in top form," she said before revealing the reason for her success here. "The court is a bit slower than usual on hard surfaces, it bounces quite a lot, and the spin I put on my shots is more damaging, giving me a certain advantage. The air is dry, making it difficult to play, but I know that if I stay consistent, I'll have many opportunities," she explained.

Asked about the surface change, Iga Swiatek was straightforward. "Everyone talks about it, but the truth is I don't notice anything. In any case, it's better not to dwell on it too much; whatever happens, you have to adapt," she said before referring to the tight schedule. "It's tough because if you reach the final rounds, you hardly have time for anything else. I've learned to see the positive side of having days between matches; I think it helps improve some technical aspects," she stated, adding that her priority is to break the title drought in this Indian Wells 2025, which has plagued her career since winning the previous edition of Roland Garros.
