Swiatek shakes off rust & Gauff wins at WTA Finals

Published

Iga Swiatek began her bid to regain the world number one ranking with a comeback win over Barbora Krejcikova in the WTA Finals group stages.

Poland’s Swiatek trailed the Wimbledon champion by a set and double break before regrouping to win 4-6 7-5 6-2.

This was the 23-year-old’s first match since her quarter-final US Open exit in September and first under new coach Wim Fissette.

“At the beginning I felt a bit rusty but I’m happy that I found a way to play a bit more solid,” said Swiatek.

She and Aryna Sabalenka are in contention to finish the year as the top-ranked player.

Defending champion Swiatek will need to win the title to replace Sabalenka, while the Belarusian needs to win all three round-robin matches, external or reach the final.

Sabalenka began her campaign with victory over Zheng Qinwen on Saturday.
