admin World’s no. 1 Iga Swiatek wins her eighth title of 2022 on Sunday in an Open San Diago WTA tournament offering a tough game with Donna Vekic. Iga Swiatek defeated Croatia’s Donna Vekic 6-3, 3-6, 6-0 in one hour and 47 minutes to pull off the debut edition of the San Diago Open.
This was the 64th of the season for Poland’s Swiatek, who has already won the French Open, US Open, Qatar, Indian Wells, Miami Stuttgart, and Rome. “It was a really tight match and pretty long.” “We feel the intensity for sure. In the end, I wanted to be the one who played the last ball in.” Swiatek said.
Vekic who finished her rain-interrupted semi-final against America’s Danielle Collin earlier on a constant day had a short amount break before facing Swiatek and gave a tough fight however run down at the end. Vekic to move up to 47 within the world ranking, broke her rival by throwing a cross-court forehand to require a 4-2 lead in the second before she gripped her serve twice to level. Vekic said,” I just hit an Iga, Everything I threw at her, she came back with even better shots.”
Swiatek took control in the decider and secured victory in the WTA 500 when Vekic double-faulted. Swiatek broke Vekic in the 6th game and twice to capture the first set.
“I wanted to go all in.” “Knowing how well she can serve, I just wanted to be more loosened up on my return games- not thinking too much, using my intuition, and fighting for every ball,” Swiatek said.
This polish star jumped back into the ninth championship after losing last week’s Ostrava finals in the Czech Republic and currently turned out to be a woman who won 8 titles and 64 matches in a single season since Serena Williams in 2013. Iga Swiatek is now 4-0 against Jesica Pegula in 2022 after San Diago Semifinal wins.
