Swiatek's Incredible WTA 1000 Stat
Iga Swiatek will play the final of the WTA 1000 tournament in Cincinnati this Monday. The Polish player appears formidable in this category of tournament.
Indeed, the world No. 3 has never lost after winning the first set. This amounts to a total of 103 first sets won in WTA 1000 events, with just as many matches secured.
Jasmine Paolini, her opponent in the final, has been warned—if she loses the first set, it will be very difficult to hope for a comeback in this match.
