WTA in a New World-Class Era
After only two weeks, Sabalenka and Swiantek meet again in today’s Rome final. Watch out for a blockbuster battle
This has not happened for over 20 years.
The WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) world’s №1 and №2 , Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka, meet twice in two weeks to play a final.
The last time the top two WTA players met in such a short period was 2000.
Martina Hingis and Lindsay Davenport were in the Indian Wells and Miami finals.
With today’s final in beautiful Rome, Swiatek and Sabalenka are hitting more world-class records.
It is the fourth head to head on clay as the world’s №1 and №2 for both — the most meetings for top two WTA players on that surface in the past 40 years, equaling legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova.
Is anything better than a full-fledged rivalry to catapult WTA into the next era of superlatives?
I’m in love with the legendary pressure in the air of women’s tennis!
