Sabalenka Swiatek Cincinnati final drama unfolds as Aryna Sabalenka defeats world No. 1 Iga Swiatek in straight sets to advance to...
Aryna Sabalenka squandered nine match points but defeated world number one Iga Swiatek 6-3, 6-3 on Sunday, breaking through to her first final at the WTA and ATP Cincinnati Open.
Sabalenka had a battle on her hands to close out her win, with Swiatek putting up a huge battle in the closing stages. "We always have tough battles and get this win in straight sets... that's kind of like achievement for me." "Paula was hitting so hard, I didn't know what to do sometimes. I had to remind myself to be aggressive and serve well. I knew it would be hard to break her.Pegula said she expects to give Sabalenka"some trouble" in the final.
The world number one had lost four of five previous matches against the German, with his only win coming at Roland Garros four years ago.The match was paused midway through the first-set tiebreaker for nearly 30 minutes while a shower passed over the area -- another episode of the poor weather which has plagued the event in recent days.
"There was a lot of tension for both of us. I'm very happy with my performance and happy to be in the final." The player who has suffered recently with a hip problem, illness and the tonsillitis which forced him to skip the Olympics, said he needs to keep up his fitness.
