Iga Swiatek fulfilled as the favorite and took the WTA Seoul 2025 after a week of excellent tennis on her part. The Polish player defeated Sorana Cirstea (6-3 6-2), Barbora Krejcikova (6-0 6-3), and Maya Joint (6-0 6-2) on her way to the final. In the decisive match, she faced tough competition from the tournament's number two seed, Ekaterina Alexandrova, as she struggled hard in the third set to emerge as the Korean queen (1-6 7-6 7-5).

The season for Iga Swiatek has been progressing from worse to better. After a start of the season where she was completely lost and without solutions in both her game and mentality, the Polish player finished the Grand Slam year with the Wimbledon title. Furthermore, the good streak continues on hard courts with the WTA Cincinnati and the WTA Seoul 2025. Although Aryna Sabalenka also has a lot to say in the upcoming tournaments, Swiatek's game surprises with the effectiveness and power she displays in all circumstances.

- Title number 25 for Iga Swiatek

The Polish player has returned to her best form, and the 6-0 scores appear repeatedly in the results she achieves in each tournament. With the WTA 1000 events in Beijing and Wuhan set to be played in the upcoming weeks, everything points to the top favorites succeeding in their mission. "I don't know how I won this match because Alexandrova played incredibly and the final was spectacular. Throughout, all I tried to do was to stay alive in the final. It was tough for me, and I hope to play more finals against her because it was very entertaining, indeed," she said.

- Closing the circle with her father

Tomasz Swiatek competed in rowing at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Despite his good performance and dedication to the discipline, he did not win a medal and finished seventh. His daughter was very aware of what happened in the Korean capital 37 years ago and used the story as a motivational tool: "I'm glad I was able to win here because of the family history. My father couldn't win at the Olympics, but at least I have won this tournament. I hope to come back in 2026 to defend it and enjoy it," she concluded proudly.
