Iga Swiatek completed the final of the WTA Finals in Cancun on Sunday. The Pole prevailed in the semifinals once morest the top-seeded Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka following a strong performance 6:3 6:2 and thus preserved her chance of reaching number one in the world rankings for women’s tennis.
In the final on Monday, Swiatek will face the American Jessica Pegula, who beat Coco Gauff in the first semi-final.
If Swiatek wins the title in Mexico, she will replace Sabalenka as leader of the ranking. The 22-year-old got off to a strong start in the duel with the Belarusian, which was canceled the day before due to persistent rain showers, and quickly took a game away from her opponent. Sabalenka was also prone to errors in the second set.
Swiatek lost his last match with Pegula in the semi-finals in Montreal in mid-August.
