After a great thriller in the first set and after making up for the losses in the second game (winning all games to the end from 2: 4), she defeated Simonê Halep in the fight for the tournament final in.
Fourth success. And it’s only March!
For a Pole, the final of the WTA 1000 event in California is another impressive achievement in 2022. Iga started this season by reaching the semi-finals of the tournament in Adelaide, then reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open and won the tournament in Doha. For five tournaments played, Iga has already achieved at least four semi-finals and at least two finals this season. Or it might just have two final triumphs.
With an impressive balance of 10 victories in a row and a total of 19 victories in 22 matches in 2022, Iga ¦wi ± tek has just jumped to the first place in the Race ranking. This list takes into account the points scored by players only in a given year. At this point, before the final of the tournament in Indian Wells, Iga has 2,570 points. And it is already known that no one will beat this result in the near future. Second is Ashleigh Barty with 2,470 points. She wasn’t playing in California.
Agnieszka Radwańska’s record to be beaten
Barty is the leader of the main WTA ranking. On the other hand, Świątek will be at least third in the latest ranking (so far it was fourth) and he has a chance for second place. Our 20-year-old will match the historic achievement if she defeats the Greek Maria Sakkari in the final of the tournament in Indian Wells.
