Iga Świątek cannot be successful in recent weeks. Although she surprised and achieved the best result in her career during the Australian Open, she lost in the semi -final with Madison Keys 5: 7, 6: 1, 6: 7 (8). She also failed to triumph in the WTA 1000 tournament in Dosh for the fourth time in a row. Although she was a favorite, her eternal rival Jelena Ostapenko turned out to be better in the semi -final. There is no doubt, therefore, that a Polish woman wants to get back for this defeat during the competition in Dubai.
This is what the Iga Świątek ladder looks like after the first day of WTA 1000 in Dubai. Excellent news
The 23-year-old has never been able to triumph in this event before. Two years ago she reached the final, but then fell with Barbora Krejcikova 4: 6, 2: 6. Recently, Anna Kalinska was amazing when she won from Świątek 6: 4, 6: 4. Now everything seems to be in the perfect place. – I feel great because I played several high -level meetings in Dosze. In Dubai, the most important thing will be to adapt to new conditions and we will see what will come out of it – said Świątek.
When a tournament ladder was drawn a few days ago, we could have concerns. After the first day of competition, the situation looks a bit different. We know that if a Polish woman defeats Azarenka on Tuesday, in the third round she will face the winner of the meeting between Anastasija Potapowa and Dajana Jastremska. As for the next stage, it is certain that he will not play with ONS Jabeur or Caroline Garcia, who fell off the competition.
The most important information for our player, however, should be that on Monday her last conqueror Jelena Ostapenko was sensational. She lost to Moyuka Uchijima 3: 6, 3: 6 below.
Here is the new ladder of Iga Świątek in Dubai:
- Second round – Wiktoria Azarenka
- third round – Anastasija Potapowa / Dajana Jastremska
- quarter -finals – Qinwen Zheng / Mirra Andrejew / Peyton Stearns / Marteta Vondrousova
