Internazionali BNL d'Italia, Rome, Italy - WTA 1000

Hey, Margaret,

Just caught the tail end of the set. Swiatek looked imposing at the least anyway.

Iga is just being Iga, like she has been all tournament.She is an incredible front runner,when she wins the 1st set

Unless Ash comes back, I don't know if anyone besides Ons is even close..

Question, what happened to Ostapenko clay court tennis game or the chick that won it last year?

If it happens, it will take someone who’s already a slam champ. Look how Bebe and Vika pushed her this week.

I cant see anyone so far on clay winning against Iga, she is too strong, though I agree with your thoughts it will take some player who is already a GS champion to defeat her.

I'm sure she's exhausted making 2 finals in consecutive weeks. My only hope is that she doesn't turn up lame tomorrow.

Ons looks gassed

Ons looks gassed

Iga consolidates her early break in the 2nd set 3-0
it is like the "Iga Express"

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ons looks gassed

Jabeur has tried to change things up in this match against Iga and anything she tries Iga has an answer and neutralizes
Jabeur has not the legs to stay with Iga

 

[the AntiPusher]

Yep. That was my fear.

The last person who defeated Iga was Ostapenko. It's good to see a player playing with so much confidence and seems to make all the right decisions about her schedule. Even Rafa has got to be impressed by young Iga.

Another service break and Iga leads 4-0

Swiatek is just 2 games away from the title

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jabeur with 2 BPs lets see if she can convert

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Again Iga too fast and the Drop Shot from Jabeur does not work....Iga to quick and gets there with ease

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well there you go finally she breaks and gets on the board in set No 2

Swiatek 4-1

Swiatek 4-2

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ons has found a New Lease of Life in the 2nd set
Drop shot from Ons that Iga could not get to
Ons with 2 BPs
2 BPs gone from Jabeur....great BH down the line from Iga
Iga and her defense is incredible....Ons threw everything at her and still could not get through
Iga saved 3 BPs great tough hold

Swiatek 5-2

Iga hands at the net is Hingis like. Superb

Iga hands at the net is Hingis like. Superb

Ons hands are not so bad either
BTW did you get my message go to the WTA News? we were right Elina Svitolina is pregnant and expecting a baby girl in October

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Swiatek with CH point


Back to back titles in Rome for Iga defeating Ons 62 62!

 

[Hoergren]

IGA and ONS in a warm hug after a demonstration of superior clay play. A really good 7th game in second set showed how good Ons could have been if she'd been 100 % fresh - but no things Ons could have done today. Congrats IGA you're simply the best.

Second Rome title in a row - next up Roland Garros

An example of Iga's play - just WOW

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Congratulations to Iga Swiatek to me she has the best offense/defense on clay I have seen since Justine Henin and I have seen Justine Henin on clay many times, especially at RG.

This is Iga 5 straight final win
28th consecutive win
4th WTA1000 title

Well done Iga and Roland Garos is next!

Ons tried everything she had to upset the rhythm of Iga, she did not have the legs to match it with Iga, still a good tournament for her making the final,well done!

No..I didn't get your message. Good for the Monfils. BRAVO !

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Nice speech from Ons,

The only complaint I have with Iga, is her choice of outfit it is Ugly she really needs help in this area!
