I had just done my job and knew what I wanted to do and went for it,&#8221; Sweet said in a post-match interview.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m happy I kept up the momentum until the end of the match. Jasmine, she&#8217;s a fighter so I can&#8217;t go back to the game.

I&#8217;m happy to be able to bring myself back to the game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When she&#8217;s firing on all the cylinders, she feels really good,&#8221; Pegra said of her opponent, Sweet in the final.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s why she was the champion and number one. I&#8217;m pretty low and flat, and if it works, it can disrupt the rhythm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bad Homburg, Germany &#8211; Five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek crushed second seed Jasmine Paolini 6-1 6-3 on Friday, reaching Bad Homburg Open Final, looking for her first career title in the Glass.
