The Pole, who played in the third quarter-final of her career “Big Accent”, will soon make her debut, and in the first quarter-final of her career, on Sunday afternoon, she did not spare the brilliant favorite of the tournament Simona. Halep (WTA-2) 6: 1, 6: 2.
The meeting lasted only three quarters of an hour, 45 minutes.
“I don’t understand what just happened. I just played perfectly. I was as focused as possible throughout the game, I was even surprised that I managed to stay focused that way,” Swiatek wondered.
Romania found no antidote in the first set, as if it had cannon fired at an opponent of almost ten years, and in the second game of the game it felt constant pressure and uncharacteristically made many unprovoked errors.
Halep, who decided not to go to the US Open in August and focus on playing on the ground, won two WTA tournaments after resuming the tennis season and had won up to 13 times in a row before that match.
Ashleigh Barty (WTA-1), Naomi Osaka (WTA-3) and Bianca Andreescu (WTA-7) did not make it to Paris, and Serena Williams (WTA-9), Karolina Pliškova (WTA-4) and the Back of Honor ( WTA-15), nobody almost doubted that the Romanian would triumph in the tournament.
However, in the unfortunate eighth final, S. Halep had to absorb up to 30 competitors. winners and save a total of 14 breaking point’of which they lost 4.
The defeat means that Romania will not be able to rank first in the WTA rankings in the near future.
