- World No 1 defends title in Rome with 6-2, 6-2 victory
- Swiatek has now won her last 28 successive matches
Even as she breezed past opponent after opponent while rarely coming close to dropping a set, for much of her week in Rome Iga Swiatek was not entirely satisfied with her performances. She felt her level was too up-and-down, that she was still adjusting to the clay and still had not entirely imposed herself on opponents from start to finish.
Although her standards are stratospheric, Swiatek is so good that she continues to match them. She produced another dominant performance on Sunday, dismantling Ons Jabeur 6-2, 6-2 to defend her title in Rome and extend her winning run to 28 successive matches, with five titles in a row.
