The 2022 WTA1000 Indian Wells Race Women's Singles Finals ushered in a showdown of great significance to both Swatak and Sakkari!
For Sakkari, after breaking through the spell of falling outside the final door several times before and stopping in the final four, she finally broke through herself to reach the final, and naturally she was full of desire for the first WTA 1000 level championship of her career.
For Svatek, this is the third consecutive time in her career that she has reached the final of the WTA 1000 class, and on the premise of winning the first two championships, she naturally wants to achieve her personal triple crown feat, and she wants this championship very much. At the same time, winning this title also has a milestone significance, becoming the first Polish player to win the women's singles crown in Indian Wells, creating a new history.
The two girls, who both want the final championship, naturally give this game another special meaning, and they will play very fiercely without thinking about it.
Sure enough, in the first set, Swatek and Sakkari were doing everything they could, hoping to break the opponent's serve and take the lead in taking the initiative of the game in their own hands, laying a solid foundation for the final victory.
The same idea, in addition to bringing uncertain factors to the direction of this game, also put too much pressure on the two girls, resulting in the two sides coming and going, and launching a break war.
Finally, in the crucial tenth set, when Swartek wanted to win too much in Sakkari and tried to use his strength to crush himself, when he was cleverly circling with the other party, he quickly forced out the break point in a hurry, and finally broke successfully, taking the lead in winning the first set.
The result of the first set made Sakkari very depressed, and it is estimated that she herself did not expect that she would work so hard and eventually lose. This made her psychological began to fluctuate when she entered the second set of contention, only after holding her own serve in the first set, the next seemed to be possessed by something, and suddenly there was no feel and state, and she was beaten by Swartec for five consecutive sets, and finally lifted the championship trophy.
In fact, Sakkari worked hard to reach the final and finally ended in this way, which really hurt this Greek girl. Her strength is stronger than Swatak, her skills are not worse than the other side, and the core key to losing the game in the end is that she did not adjust her emotions and mentality in time while she wanted to win too much, and always wanted to use her strength to suppress her opponents and make a quick decision.
But she ignored the fact that Swatak belonged to the kind of girl who was resilient and very calm during the game. Even if the game was lost, there were hardly any mood swings in her face. This gave her enough patience to deal with her opponents, as evidenced by her ability to defeat the Predator Harep in the semi-finals.
So rather than losing to Swartak, Sakkari ended up losing to her own mentality. In the words of netizens, in Sakkari, there seems to be an iron law, the semi-finals do not kneel, the final will also kneel. That's why she's not bad, and why she has only one WTA champion in her name so far.
In contrast, Swartec has always had a good record, which is related to her consistent personality and style of play, which is very similar to today's ball queen Barty. That's why she reached the WTA Tour final six times and was able to lift the championship trophy five times.
Looking at the five titles that Svatek has won so far, you can't help but give her a thumbs up. In addition to the French Open champions, the WTA 1000 class champions accounted for 3, the lowest level of the champion is also WTA 500 level, such a glamorous resume, looking at the entire WTA is really very rare, the tour record is too advanced.
After winning the Indian Wells Class 1000 championship, Swatek will not only receive $1.23 million in prize money, but will also improve his world ranking to second place with 1,000 championship points. Historically, not only did it equal the record for the highest Polish player's world ranking set by her predecessor Radwanska, Svatek also set another new record, becoming the first Polish player in Indian Wells history to win a women's singles title.
Swatak is always on the senior stage of the WTA Tour, writing a legend for his honor book, continuing his "senior girl" journey, when it will stop, for Svatek, who is only 20 years old this year, no one will know! (Source: House of Tennis Author: Starry Sky of The Moon River)
