The 21-year-old Polish played the final of the WTA 500 tournament in Qatar on Saturday.

There she clearly won against fourth-ranked American Jessica Pegula in two straight sets (6-3, 6-0).

In February 2022, Swiatek won the same tournament in Qatar, shortly after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

- I got a "throwback" to last year - it was the first tournament that I had a chance to speak out after the start of the war in Ukraine, Swiatek said during the winning ceremony.

- I think it feels like we have short memories.

All of us should support Ukrainians, with everything they need to live with every day.

It is very sad that the situation is not improving, but hopefully they will remain strong.
