Hey tennis fans! The grass at the WTA Bad Homburg Open has been set on fire with thrilling matches. Fourth seed Iga Swiatek turned a slow start on its head by overcoming Belarusian Victoria Azarenka 6-4, 6-4. Trailing 2-4 early on, Iga scored timely breaks to level the game at 4-3 and ultimately sealed a tense win with impressive saves in the final stretch.
