I don’t want to jinx it, but Iga looks very good. She has power – Joanna Sakowicz-Kostecka, who is currently in Saudi Arabia, tells Przegląd Sportowy Onet. The Canal+ Sport expert saw the actions of the Pole and the Belarusian up close, who stood on both sides of the net on Thursday.
Such situations are very rare on the tennis tour. A joint training session of the two best players in the world ended with… the leader’s phone being broken due to Świątek’s fault . For fans of the discipline and both players, the most important thing was the answer to the question of the form of the favorites.
Iga Świątek and Aryna Sabalenka in a thrilling rivalry. What a move by the Polish player
The training footage doesn’t provide a complete answer, but it’s really exciting. On the court in Riyadh, you could see the trademark moves of both players.
“A rare opportunity in Saudi Arabia as two of the world’s best players train together ahead of the WTA Finals. Hot takes from the highlights below,” Tennis Channel gushes. The 23-year-old finished one of the plays with a juicy straight-line serve that Sabalenka could only watch.
The end of the recording is already a show of the leader of the WTA ranking. A backhand play surprised the player from Raszyn, and in each action on both sides there was great commitment and will to fight. This may be even greater for Świątek, who has not played an official match for 56 days. In addition, she must fight to regain the title of leader.
