Former French Open champion Iga Swiatek beat Maria Sakkari 6-4, 6-1 on Sunday to win the WTA Indian Wells title and move to a career-high ranking of No.2 in the world. 

Swiatek’s fifth career title was her second in as many tournaments after her triumph in Doha last month, and pushed her WTA match win-streak to 11. It also ensured the 20-year-old from Poland, who shot to prominence with her victory at Roland Garros in 2020, will climb two spots to supplant Barbora Krejcikova at No.2 in the rankings behind Australian Ashleigh Barty on Monday.
