Dubai Duty Free Tennis: This Polish family prepared to lose their voice for Iga Swietek

Marta Baluch came to the women’s singles final of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships on Saturday prepared to lose her voice.

Together with her husband, and tennis-loving little daughter, Marta was geared up to scream herself hoarse watching a country woman and world No 1. Iga Swiatek play Czech Republic’s Barbora Krejcikova for the title.

“We bought tickets for the final a long time ago because we knew that Iga would be in it,” said Marta. “We absolutely love her.

“I knew I was going to lose my voice, but I was also prepared for recovery day on Sunday.”

Marta said that the Dubai Tennis Championships offers an experience like no other.

“The ambience is wonderful and it's absolutely lovely both inside and outside the stadium,” she said.
