World number one Iga Swiatek beat Germany's Laura Siegemund to win the Poland Open, her home tournament.

Playing in her first tournament since her quarter-final exit at Wimbledon, Swiatek won 6-0 6-1 in Warsaw.

The 22-year-old only completed her semi-final earlier in the day after her match with Yanina Wickmayer was suspended on Saturday night due to darkness at 6-1 5-5.

Swiatek eventually claimed a 6-1 7-6 (8-6) victory over the Belgian.

However, she raced through the championship match against Siegemund in just 68 minutes without facing a single break point.

"It's not easy to play in Warsaw, but I'm so happy that we could manage and do everything we could today, after a pretty tiring day yesterday," said Swiatek, who didn't drop a set throughout the tournament.

"I wanted to put it all in and go for it. I'm pretty happy that I did."

It is a fourth title for the Pole this season, having won in Doha and Stuttgart before picking up her third French Open title at Roland Garros in June.
