The end of the 2022 season is in sight. On the WTA Tour, just three standout events remain – San Diego, Guadalajara and the WTA Finals – before the curtain comes down. Only when the Finals have been played will it be possible to take complete stock of the season, but whatever happens over the next four weeks, this has already been Iga Swiatek’s season.
Iga Swiatek says she has been surprised by how motivated she is feeling despite having played — and won — so many matches in 2022. World No. 1 Swiatek's win-loss record this year reads a remarkable 60-9, and it's not just the volume of matches she has won, but the significance of them — taking two majors at the French and US Opens, and securing five other titles besides.
China's Qinwen Zheng took advantage of a last-minute entry into the San Diego Open to advance to the second round on Tuesday.
Barbora Krejcikova clinched a second successive WTA title with a stunning come-from-behind victory over world number one Iga Swiatek in the Ostrava final on Sunday. The world number 23 triumphed 5-7, 7-6 (7/4), 6-3 to add the Czech trophy to her victory in Tallinn last weekend. Krejcikova's success snapped French and US Open champion Swiatek's 10-final win streak and gave the 26-year-old Czech a fifth career singles title. Swiatek, who had racked up her 60th win of the season on Saturday, went into Sunday's final having won both her previous meetings with Krejcikova.
Taylor Fritz has become the first American in almost five years to be ranked in the ATP men's top 10 due to his win in the Japan Open.
Coco Gauff believes a more relaxed approach, including her interests in Twitch and Youtube, has improved her tennis this year. Gauff has reached a career-high of world No. 8 following her run to the quarter-finals at the US Open and revealed she has changed her mindset and lifestyle since the French Open, where she was runner-up to Iga Swiatek.
One thing fans aren’t used to seeing is Iga Świątek lose in a tennis final.
What is it about this time of year on the WTA Tour? In 2021 it was Anett Kontaveit going on a tear to secure an unlikely-looking place at the season-ending WTA Finals. In 2022 it’s Liudmila Samsonova who is rapidly surging upwards. Ad Samsonova won the Japan Open without dropping a set a fortnight ago to lift her third title in two months.
