Swiatek's dominance at WTA finals sets new records
Posted : 08 November 2023
In a stunning display at the WTA Finals in Cancun, Iga Swiatek, the former world No. 1, reclaimed her dominance on the tour. She lost just 20 games throughout the tournament, setting a new record for the fewest games dropped in the event's round-robin format history, surpassing Serena Williams' previous record of 32 games in 2012. Swiatek's performances in the semi-finals and final were emphatic and served as a reminder of her extraordinary skill and ability to reach unmatched heights.
Finishing the year with 68 wins, six titles, and 13 top-10 victories, Swiatek outperformed all other players on the WTA Tour. Her resurgence following her post-US Open defeat was particularly impressive. After that loss, she admitted to making numerous mistakes and feeling a lack of control over her game. However, Swiatek tightened up her game significantly, making almost no unforced errors in subsequent matches. This newfound freedom in her play, coupled with error-free tennis, proved to be a recipe for success and a nightmare for her opponents.
Swiatek's tactical evolution has put her in a strong position as she looks ahead to the Australian Open in 2024, where she aims to counter the big hitting and first-strike tennis style that has troubled her in recent years. If successful, she may be on the path to claiming her fifth Grand Slam title.
