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.
Iga Swiatek swept to victory at the Italian Open on Sunday, beating Ons Jabeur 6-2, 6-2 to retain the title and claim her fifth tournament crown in a row. World number one Swiatek dropped to her knees in tears of joy after winning her 28th match in a row, and is red-hot favourite for Roland Garros which starts later this month. "I'm going to celebrate with a lot of tiramisu!" Swiatek joked on court before adding "see you at the French Open".

ROME: This is just what Novak Djokovic needed a week before the French Open.
ROME (AP) — This is just what Novak Djokovic needed a week before the French Open.
Ons Jabeur will face Iga Swiatek in the Italian Open final after winning Saturday's thrilling last four clash with Daria Kasatkina 6-4, 1-6, 7-5. Tunisia's Jabeur became the first Arab or African player to claim a WTA 1000 title with her stunning victory in Madrid, and now she has the chance to make more history against Swiatek after another glorious comeback win on centre court in Rome. Having won the first set in fairly comfortable fashion world number seven Jabeur was clattered from pillar to post by unseeded Russian Kasatkina.
