Warsaw, the capital of women's tennis. The success of the WTA 125 Warsaw T-Mobile Polish Open

The WTA 125 Warsaw T-Mobile Polish Open organized by the Polish Tennis Association (PZT) creates stars and this year's edition was no different. 24-year-old Lee, who made her professional debut several days earlier during the tournament in Prague, won her first victory on the women's tour in Warsaw. The American defeated the Czech Gabriela Knutson 6:4, 7:5 in the final. The fans at the Legia Tennis & Golf facility also showed, among others: the talented Czech Vendula Valdmannova and the Bulgarian Elizara Janewa. Amelia Pashun (AZS Poznań) made her debut in the main series in Warsaw. Polish women took advantage of the opportunity to perform in front of their own audience. Weronika Falkowska (KS Górnik Bytom) won the doubles tournament together with Alana Smith and advanced to the singles quarterfinals for the second time in her career at a WTA 125 event. The 26-year-old confirmed on the Legia Tenis & Golf courts that she is in good shape this season, and granting her a "wild card" to the main draw was a good decision of the PZT. - I'm fighting for my ranking to be better than three years ago. My goal is to play the qualifying rounds of Grand Slam tournaments, he announces. Valuable experience in a tournament of this rank was gained in Warsaw by the gold medalist of the last LOTTO 100th Polish National Championships, Zuzanna Pawlikowska (KS Górnik Bytom), who advanced to the second round. - I am happy with what I managed to present and the learning I gained from this tournament. I will continue to work, develop and fight to make my dreams come true - declares the LOTTO PZT Team player. In the second round of the singles tournament, fans could also see two other LOTTO PZT Team tennis players: Katarzyna Kawa (BKT Advantage Bielsko-Biała) and Martyna Kubka (WKT Mera Warszawa). The latter also formed a duo with Alicja Rosolska (KT Warszawianka Warszawa) in the doubles tournament. The 45-time Grand Slam tournament participant ended her professional career with a performance in Warsaw. She played her last match on Friday, but the next day she appeared on the court during the All-Star Game and a wheelchair tennis exhibition match with the participation of Jarosław Żyła and Krzysztof Kowalewski. She also received a commemorative statuette from the president of PZT, Dariusz Łukaszewski. WTA 125 Warsaw T-Mobile Polish Open was a celebration of all Polish tennis. The fans on the court were treated to not only the leading Polish wheelchair tennis specialists, but also one of the world's best deaf tennis players Sara Twardowska, tennis enthusiasts Maciej Dowbor and Joanna Koroniewska, recognized on the national arena, and friends and tennis supporters Urszula Dudziak and Karol Strasburger. They all took part in the All-Star Match, which PZT organized with the Herosi Foundation, and later together they honored Rosolska, who was ending her professional career. Rosolska and Klaudia Jans-Ignacik were the captains of the All-Star Game. Both of them enthusiastically commented on the actions of their players and shuffled their lineups. Later, in the mixed game, they faced Żyła and Kowalewski. Rosolska and Jans-Ignacik also received unique, numbered medals prepared for competitors and players who made outstanding contributions to the Polish National Championships. PZT started presenting awards on the occasion of the LOTTO 100th Polish National Championship in Gdynia and will continue to do so in the second half of the year. The title partners of the event were the Capital City of Warsaw and T-Mobile, which, together with PZT, runs a campaign against hate speech #HejtOutLoveIn. The Main Partners were LOTTO, Głosna Warszawa and PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna, whose ward, supported under PZT PGE Team A, Oliwia Sybicka (MKT Stalowa Wola), visited the tournament on the occasion of the final. The event partners were Uni-logistics, Regent Warsaw Hotel, Hertz Polska, Cechini Muszyna, Rehasport, Lotos Spa, Festina, Solar, Flaming & Co and Caffe Grano, and the Media Partners were Tenis Magazyn, TenisKlub and WP SportoweFakty. The balls were provided by Dunlop. The fourth edition of the largest Polish women's tournament was accompanied for the first time by the National Tennis Day, of which Ceeconev was the Main Partner. Fans who showed up at Myśliwiecka Street could visit, among others: the company's stand, an activity zone prepared by the Capital Sports Center "Aktcyjna Warszawa", the Hejt Out Love In T-Mobile Polska space with a 3-meter tennis racket, stands of Hertz Poland, the DKMS Foundation and the Rakiety Oncological Foundation. PZT provided a number of free attractions. Fans include: they could watch broadcasts of matches and the fairy tale "Clifford. The Big Red Dog" on the big screen. The Massage Zone was prepared by Thai Magic SPA. The interest exceeded expectations, and there were no tickets for Saturday's final. The decisive WTA 125 Warsaw T-Mobile Polish Open matches were watched from the stands by over two thousand spectators, although there was no Polish woman on the court. This is the best proof that the tournament was a sports celebration and that our country has good weather for tennis.
