Iga Świątek’s form was commented on TVP Sport by Marcin Matkowski, a former Polish tennis player and doubles specialist who took part in the ATP Finals seven times for the eight best doubles players in the world. – You can see that when Iga was eliminated from the US Open and lost first place, she got rid of the pressure. In the following weeks, everyone counted her time at the top. It weighed on her. When this pressure is no longer there, it is clear that she enjoys tennis more. She showed it, for example in Beijing, he said.

– The old truth says that it is easier to get to the top than to stay there. Now Sabalenka has a harder time because she is struggling with the pressure of being the leader and fending off Iga’s attacks. For the Pole, it doesn’t matter much now whether she returns to the top in two weeks or two months, he added.
