WTASaturday, 30 December 2023 at 12:23
Iga Swiatek’s new reign as World No.1 has technically begun after hitting the front again at the WTA Finals and she is through her opener at the 2024 United Cup.
Swiatek eased past Beatriz Haddad Maia with consummate ease despite being on paper a tough contest due to the latter being World No.11. But it ended up being an easy win 6-2, 6-2.
It was complete in just over an hour and 15 minutes and adds the first point for Poland with Hubert Hurkacz next to try and seal the opening win for the top seeds before a potential union in Mixed Doubles. He is currently facing Thiago Seyboth Wild, while Alexander Zverev aiming to keep Germany’s hopes alive is taking on Lorenzo Sonego for Italy.

“For now, let’s cheer for Hubi. On mixed doubles, please cheer. Because it’s not often when we play mixed doubles. I’m pretty excited I’m gonna be able to play today,” said Swiatek on potential mixed doubles.
“Playing with him is kind of easy, you know. Because I feel like he’s doing most of the job (laughs). But just being serious.. I really like playing mixed doubles. It’s such a challenge for me to play against guys. I practice with guys who are playing really fast, so when I play right now these couple of rallies against them it’s just really exciting. I feel like I have nothing to lose.”
