Swiatek thanked her team and family during her victory speech, saying that while the victory wasn't easy in her home country, she gave it her all despite a demanding schedule and was happy with the outcome.

"I want to thank my team and my family. It's not easy to play in Warsaw, but I'm so happy that we could manage and do everything we could today, after a pretty tiring day yesterday. I wanted to put it all in and go for it. I'm pretty happy that I did," she said.

Iga Swiatek then lavished praise on her opponent, Laura Siegemund, congratulating her on reaching the finals.

"Laura, what you did yesterday was pretty surreal. I don't know if anyone would be able to survive that, but you did. Congratulations for this run, because it's been a pretty great week, and it's nice that we could play this final," the World No.1 said.
