The first one, I think, was that double bagel against Karolina Pliskova.

Swiatek is only one year older than Emma Raducanu. She won this one after winning the first one so young. Raducanu could take a page out of this and have the confidence that there will be more. Few years down the road really hope Swiatek and Raducanu are the names to watch. Just like Williams, Sharapova, Azarenka in their heydays. ps. I'm not British ya,,

Wow!!! Superb!!! IMPRESSIVE ❤️❤️❤️ love IGA & Rafa🥰🥰🥰

that's my blood 🇵🇱

@@bahardin3992 Raducanu is not that good, she's barely a WTA top 50 player. Elena Rybakina recently beat her 6-1 6-1 I belive, a fair measure of how Raducanu matches up against the rest of the WTA. Iga Swiatek, on the other hand, is actually a talented, complete tennis player multiple levels above Raducanu. Pls dont insult Swiatek by putting her in the same catagory as Raducanu, who walked away from a contest with Gavrilova basically cuz it went too long & she was too tired to keep playing. Swiatek doesn't do that shit.

Would love to see Ash v Iga in many tournaments ! Would be nice to have a rivalry to match Evert v Navratilova and Graf v Seles.

@@richardmacken8169 I would love to see that too

@@richardmacken8169 maybe we’ll get to see those matchups on clay

@@richardmacken8169 : and Sharapova vs Azarenka.

She wont keep this up. I doubt any top ten, or twenty, even Barty, will keep "this up." Just stating an obvious observation due to recent tennis history. All top 10, or top 20, will rise and fall for some time. Barty may stay #1, but she will lose matches.

Agree. My thoughts exactly

I found it to be less about Swiatek's returns & more about her hitting legit winners! She did seem to anticipate Kontaveit's weaknesses well. It wasn't Anett's best day but full credit to Swiatek.

@@blond2282 Świątek is the best returner on the tour according to WTA, so I think as long as she returns over 50% as she does- which is a phenomenal number by any ATP or WTA standards- she is able to hit well

Anett moans like a baby calf EVERY time she hits the ball…

@@bryanmartin5901 :) yep a bit this high pitch moan I noticed that as well.. but it's still bearable

@@matsontario8480 much bearable

@@bryanmartin5901 "sneezing" a lot.

Nothing forces more to learn as defeats, I believe game against Collins and especially Ostapenko were game changer for Iga. She faced several ball basher this year and with each match was getting better to handle ball basher

@@slawomirpietraszak6839 exactly. A good point. A match with Ostapenko was very significant for both of them.

Bardzo sympatyczna dziewczyna, aż szkoda mi się jej zrobiło jak plakala

Szkoda, ze tylko jedna mogła wygrać

Cycuchy ma fajne :P

Też ją bardzo lubię. Fajna, sympatyczna dziewczyna.

Unfortunately, we will probably never get rid of the nonsense about what does not kill you, makes you stronger. For example, just ask PTSD victims. But even on a much smaller scale, strong negative experiences can have a negative effect on the future of the person. That's why it would be so wonderful if this cliché sounded instead: What does not kill you CAN make you stronger.

She cried, because she got robbed a tittle in this match. She also cried, because umpires had better attitude towards Swiatek, than towards her.

@@einarsd4 Hhahahahahahhaha........hahahhaha

@@iguassu28 Laugh about yourself. And read tennis rules.

@@iguassu28 25. A GOOD RETURN It is a good return if: a. The ball touches the net, net posts/singles sticks, cord or metal cable, strap or band, provided that it passes over any of them and hits the ground within the correct court; except as provided in Rule 2 and 24 (d); or b. After the ball in play has hit the ground within the correct court and has spun or been blown back over the net, the player reaches over the net and plays the ball into the correct court, provided that the player does not break Rule 24; or c. The ball is returned outside the net posts, either above or below the level of the top of the net, even though it touches the net posts, provided that it hits the ground in the correct court; except as provided in Rules 2 and 24 (d); or d. The ball passes under the net cord between the singles stick and the adjacent net post without touching either net, net cord or net post and hits the ground in the correct court, or e. The player’s racket passes over the net after hitting the ball on the player’s own side of the net and the ball hits the ground in the correct court; or f. The player hits the ball in play, which hits another ball lying in the correct court. Case 1: A player returns a ball which then hits a singles stick and hits the ground in the correct court. Is this is a good return? Decision: Yes. However, if the ball is served and hits the singles stick, it is a service fault. Case 2: A ball in play hits another ball which is lying in the correct court. What is the correct decision? Decision: Play continues. However, if it is not clear that the actual ball in play has been returned a let should be called.

Viva México! Que tengas un buen dia!

Bart would crush her by disrupting her rhythm. Anett just played into Iga's hands and had no plan B

Barty would smashed her . Kontaveit played iga game

@@deusexmachina9776 agree and kontaveit is mentally weak in big tournaments .

Iga was in form in Sydney and Barty smashed her

@@Worshipking23 It wasn't in Sydney and Barty didn't smash her, you cheat..

And then: Anett didn't play that well - something was the matter ...

@@ebbenielsen7 As it is in women's sports. Sometimes it's a bad day.

@@brzoza3892 Same with Novak in the first round.

Annette lost 6-2 6-0. That's a total beat down by definition.

@@Mean.Devil77787 I like Novak very much, he will always be one of the best for me ever. Greetings from Poland.

this will be super interested to see her again playing Barty

Yep, I see her as the second best player at the moment and probably will be number one soon if she continues playing like this.

Kontaveit played really bad actually. You would know if you watched the second set

@@tennisfan1706 In the second set it was already broken. It was the same in Paris.

Great comment, Congratulations to these two new players!

Niech tylko Iga ten return szlifuje do perfekcji, a będzie bólem dla każdej jednej w drabince. :D A zwycięstwo oczywiście wspaniałe. Choć moim zdaniem sokołowi powinna dać dzioba w dzioba. ;)

@@vojtasjedyny 🙂A z tym sokołem to może next time😉

Sakkari returned the favour to Iga when she beat her at Indian Wells as Iga was in tears on match point.

Surely, that match with Sakkari hardly counts as "destruction". That Maria lost the lead in both sets was as much her own as Świątek's doing, but ofc kudos is in order for breaking the H2H.

@@freshmarex3538 maybe not the results she had against the other two but numbers don't lie. Better percentage in terms of service, 1&2, break points, only 1 double fault and a straight sets win could be described as a total domination. Maybe for Iga it's destruction of the demons more than anything else but it was the biggest win of the tournament. Kontaveit was just an exclamation point!

@@marekwojtowicz3005 Still, it's hard to conceal that Iga had a harder time against Maria, than either Aryna or Anett. IMO it came down to better clutch play from Świątek. She simply didn't play as much to Sakkari's strengths as she did before. Otherwise, both were fairly evenly matched.

@Marek Wojtowicz. Very well said. Iga played this way in RG final 2020; strategically and with authority. She eased up somewhat in 2021; only getting to Qtrs and Semis. Now, it looks like she is back--but better.👍

@@sbstafford8225 two more to go at Indian Wells. She should be able to dispose of Halep. Then a tough one but it's a priceless experience and great team preparation regardless. # 2!!!!

I think a Iga and Ashley will make a better rivalry Kontaveit is a good player but don't think she's proven to be great yet. Many players have won a few titles but lack the 1000 titles or Majors

@@bluemountain3779 Possibly. But Iga has a way to go to prove she's a true rival to Barty. Not to say she can't do it, but not there yet.

@@zweigackroyd7301 She is 20 yo, she has time.

@@ps61762 Do you use different numbers or just measure years based on the orbit of another planet?

@@zweigackroyd7301 What a troll, OMG :D

Biggest challenge was surprisingly Viktorija Golubić - very crafty player with beautiful one handed BH. Iga needed three sets, third set was one way traffic though.

Well, and You have it. 😄

@@jesusschizus272 Yes, she's even stronger than she was earlier in the year in terms of consistency and everything else, I guess.

😂😂😂

Zgadzam się. Niemniej Pliskovej chyba było jeszcze bardziej przykro w finale w Rzymie.

I miazostala wygrywajac sumshine double🎉🎉🎉

swiatek broken sabalenka 7 times who served imo much better than kontaveit so i assume players would fear to play their service games agains swiatek

@@besty7 She is gonna defeat her opponents until she will turn to Ash.

@@bratSebastian typowo polski komentarz

But when you think about it Iga has a Major and has done well in the majors and already has a 1000 title Rome Kontaveit best title is one or two 500 and a few 250 and hasn't done well in Majors. She made it to the WTA finals and got beat in straight sets by Garbine it's a different pressure to win the bigger tournaments

@@bluemountain3779 she is on the right track , with hard work and dedication , the titles will come.

@@fedy99 maybe but I've seen this before on the WTA

Still it was great tournament for Anett, and last few months simply incredible. She's going for more titles this year.

@@vojtasjedyny i also like Anett, but Iga too :)

Agree

I feel like Swiatek has a totally different skill set from Radwanska, no?

@@blond2282 ... Radwanska was a class player.

And as Osaka continue to get back on track emotionally and mentally she will be back into the top 10 where she belongs

I think Ash will be challenged this season 😬

Yeah but Clara beat her convincingly in straight sets at the Aussie Open in the second round Kontaveit plays a lot of matches and wins a lot but has yet to succeed in winning 1000 title or advance to a semi, final or win a Major when she finally does that then i will be impress with all her winning

It does seem like a hard style of play for Kontaveit to do day in & day out. Honestly Anett just looked tired to me, & Iga pounced. Very smart on Iga's part, I give her credit. Anett either needs to up her endurance training or play fewer matches, imo.

because she changed coach

I think playing Barty is more of a mental thing than a physical one....I could be wrong, but Barty makes her mid match adjustments so seamlessly it must be so mentally difficult for her opponents. Imo.
