przejdę na emeryturę – powiedziała Iga Świątek podczas składania oficjalnych oświadczeń przed WTA ON…..

At 20, Coco Gauff has achieved a considerable amount. She has established herself as a perennial top-five player, won a grand slam title, and lived up to the suffocating hype that followed her since her preteens. Still, it remains to be seen if she can solve one of the most lopsided match-ups between two top players the sport has seen – her 1-11 record against Iga Swiatek.

In her second match at the WTA Finals, Gauff took a significant step forward as she held her nerve to register her second win over Swiatek, the No 2 seed and defending champion. After bursting into the contest playing bold tennis, Gauff maintained her composure in the middle of a serving slump before closing out a 6-3, 6-4 win over her erratic opponent.

With another victory, Gauff advanced to 2-0 at the season-ending championship in Riyadh, putting herself in a strong position to reach the semi-finals. Swiatek’s loss means Aryna Sabalenka will finish the year as the WTA No 1 for the first time, breaking the Pole’s run of two years at the summit.

The sparse crowds in Riyadh have attracted significant attention and debate with Sunday’s matches witnessed by just a few hundred spectators. While King Saud University Indoor Arena was far from full on Tuesday, a healthier crowd was present. Swiatek received loud support from the beginning, but Gauff’s performance endeared her to the neutrals as the match went on.
