Iga Swiatek He already had tennis number 1, but since Monday he has exercised that position with indisputable power. She opens her position at the top of the classification, after the loss of Ashleigh Barty, with the title in Miami. A category victory (6-4 and 6-0), because the rival was Naomi Osakaand that hides a good handful of data to celebrate that the Polish takes the baton from the Australian with responsibility and at a superb moment.
The final had only one chapter, but one of those that leave a mark in the annals. A first set of pure tennis: strategy, power, ambition. The games were eternal, the points were very even, any mistake was a difficult punishment to lift. Until 53 minutes of pure spectacle that first partial was lengthened.
Strength in the hand of the Japanese, changes of rhythm in the Polish. And it was this one who ended up unbalancing the clash with a single break.
The final ended there too. Because in the second set, Osaka’s ambition was clouded and she ran out of energy. She couldn’t offer any more resistance against Swiatek’s rights that turned into daggers, especially lethal crosses. Just 26 minutes lasted that second set that raised Swiatek to the altars of the gallon classification.
A third WTA 1000 title in a row ????????????
