Women's Tennis WTA Tour 2022

[Monzanator 4,768]

YEC starts on Monday. Great draw for Iga Świątek with Kasatkina & Gauff whom she owns lately in her group. The other group is anyone's for the taking if Sabalenka's serve somehow holds up.

 

 

[Monzanator 4,768]

First match finished. Maria Sakkari beat Jessica Pegula 7-6 7-6 @Makedonas

[Monzanator 4,768]

Aryna Sabalenka beat Ons Jabeur in three sets.

 

In the other group today: Świątek beat Kasatkina 6-2 6-4 (fifth win in a row in this match-up) and Garcia beat Gauff 6-4 6-3.

[Monzanator 4,768]

Świątek beat Garcia 6-3 6-2 and Kasatkina beat Gauff 7-6 6-3 which means Świątek has made the SF while Garcia plays Kasatkina for the second spot.

 

In the other group Sakkari has advanced.

[Monzanator 4,768]

Aryna Sabalenka beat Jessica Pegula so Ons Jabeur had to beat Maria Sakkari in two sets to make the semis but she lost in straights.

 

Iga Świątek vs Sabalenka is the first SF, Sakkari will play the winner of Garcia vs Kasatkina.

[Monzanator 4,768]

Caroline Garcia beats Daria Kasatkina in third set TB to secure the Sakkari SF match-up. Iga Świątek blitzes Cori Gauff 6-3 6-0 to complete the sweep.

 

Gauff & Pegula went 0-9 at the YEC losing ALL their singles & doubles matches

[Makedonas 2,239]

Maria played very well in the first two matches, I didn't get to see the one vs Jabeur but that was the easiest one. No matter what happens now I am glad she was able to have a strong finish to the year as she did not do so well in the middle of the year after being very good at the start of the year.

[Monzanator 4,768]

Caroline Garcia & Aryna Sabalenka will play in the YEC final

[Monzanator 4,768]

Caroline Garcia wins the YEC 7-6 6-4 over Aryna Sabalenka in the final. The rankings don't quite show it but Garcia has been the second best player this season behind Świątek. Quite a comeback to relevancy after her Wuhan & Beijing titles in 2017 vaulted her to top 5 but she's done nothing noteworthy until 2022.
