SHE MAKES IT 8️⃣ In her last stop before the WTA Finals, World No.1 iga.swiatek halts Donna Vekic 6-3, 3-6, 6-0 to reign in San Diego, clinching her 8th title of the season and 11th overall 🏆 6th WTA crown on hardcourt ✔️ 64th victory of 2022 ✔️ The Polish turned the American soil into her favourite battleground, winning her 4th title in the USA this season 🇺🇸🇺🇸 She extended her remarkable record in finals to 11-2 🔥 A very confident Vekic pushed Swiatek to bring her best. Iga started solid and took control from the baseline, forcing her opponent to make errors with deep shots, she closed out the set with an effortless performance, Donna reacted well in the second set as she improved her level and showed aggressive tennis, she took advantage of her momentum to grab her only break of the match, she kept serving well to force a decider… Afterwards Swiatek turned up the heat as she showed an unmatched determination to dominate the whole set from start to finish, she delivered a powerful display from the baseline and slayed it with her fierce groundstrokes, hitting tricky angles from both wings, she made her opponent struggle with clean shots and confident decisions, wrapping up the affair by winning 82% of pts behind her 2nd serve 🙌🏻 A week to remember for donnavekic who contested in her first final in almost a year, she managed to prevail over 4 tricky opponents including 2 top 10 opponents, she also proved her quality and mentally steadiness through two challenging battles vs Sabalenka & Collins, glad to see her finding form and hopefully she keeps climbing ❤️ Iga’s historical 2022 keeps growing, no words needed about what she’s doing/achieving this year, 2 titles and 1 finals in her last 3 events, she’s walking steadily towards a phenomenal season ending, whatever will happen in Texas, she already etched her name in the history books and produced one of the most dominant seasons ever. Congrats to this inspiring champ and all the praise to her for having the ability to renew motivation every single week, she da best ☝🏻 #WTA500 #sandiego #usa #wta #tennis #hardcourt #sunshine #sandiegoOpen 📸 Getty
