Rennae Stubbs wants Swiatek to improve her forehand down the line, having watched the Pole exit the Dubai Tennis Championships at the quarter-final stage.

Swiatek is a two-time Indian Wells champion, with the current WTA Tour number two winning last year and in 2022.

She defeated Maria Sakkari on both occasions, winning 6-4, 6-1 and 6-4, 6-0 for her first and second titles respectively.

But it is American players who enter their home tournament in the best form, with Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro winning the ATX Open and Merida Open titles respectively.

The latter needed just four hours and 43 minutes on court to lift the trophy, which ranks second for the least amount of time spent to win a WTA title in the last five years.

That is according to OptaAce, with Swiatek topping the pile after needing just three hours to win in Doha in 2023.

Garbine Muguruza occupies third place on the list with her four-hour, 52-minute triumph in Chicago in 2021.

Elena Rybakina (four hours, 58 minutes) and Madison Keys (five hours) meanwhile complete the top five with their 2024 Brisbane and Strasbourg titles respectively.

But Swiatek will have very fond memories of the 2023 event thanks to her stunning run, having been the top seed in Doha.

She eased past Danielle Collins in the round of 32 back then, before seventh seed Belinda Bencic withdrew from their quarter-final tie.

A straight set semi-final win against Veronika Kudermetova was then secured, with Swiatek storming past Pegula in the final.

Swiatek clinched her 12th WTA title in Doha, losing just five games as she successfully defended her crown, with a third successive success secured in 2024.
