Swiatek Wins Rome Title, Extends Dominance on WTA Tour
Iga Swiatek's dominance on the WTA Tour continued unabated as she secured her third Internazionali BNL d'Italia title in Rome, defeating Aryna Sabalenka in straight sets. The victory marked a significant milestone in her career, making her the first player to win four tour-level titles this year and the first to win both Madrid and Rome in the same year since 2013.
Swiatek's triumph in Rome was a testament to her unwavering consistency and exceptional form. She has now won all four of her titles this year at WTA 1000 events, a feat that underscores her status as the world's top-ranked player. Her victory in Rome also marked her 10th WTA title overall, a testament to her remarkable rise in the sport.
The match against Sabalenka was a rematch of their thrilling encounter in the Madrid final two weeks ago, where Swiatek prevailed in a nail-biting three-hour battle. However, in Rome, Swiatek displayed a clinical performance, controlling the match from start to finish. She broke Sabalenka's serve twice in the first set and once in the second set, securing the victory with a comfortable 6-2, 6-3 scoreline.
Swiatek's victory in Rome has further solidified her position as the favorite for the upcoming French Open. She has now won 21 tour-level titles in her career, including two Grand Slams, and her current form suggests that she is poised to add to her tally in Paris.
