She gets a lot of disrespect and stick from tennis 'fans' for some reason, and I honestly don't see why. She's not arrogant, she's not whiney, she's not nasty to the opponents or crowd. Just because she's better than the likes of Gauff, Svitolina, Jabeur, all the British women, and the other media and fan favourites is no reason to dislike her. I've been a big fan for some time now. She's still young and should hopefully develop into a great of the modern tennis era. How she's prepared for the French Open will likely determine whether she'll hold onto the number one spot. Personally I don't think it overly bothers her. It can take the pressure off if she's not got a target on her back.
@@Nightopian1982the only reason is that she’s the best Sabalenka grunts loudly, Gauff complains and argues with the umpire despite being wrong, Rybakina doesn’t like interviews, but it still seems Iga is the one that is the most targeted. Why? Because she’s the best, everybody knows it and can’t get over it 😂
Huge respect for Iga; she proved in this match why she is #1 in the world. It's the best possible response to the AO loss. Not only did she win the title in Doha for the third time in a row, but in the final, she defeated Rybakina, who, so far, appeared as the most serious threat next to Sabalenka. Congratulations also to Rybakina, as thanks to her, this match was so good; far more enjoyable to watch than the last AO final. A great promotion for the entire WTA.
If you're talking about the whole season, Rybakina isn't a threat to Świątek at all, she doesn't consistently win enough tournaments to get the points. Gauff is far more threatening. If she keeps winning the way she has been lately, she's going to be far more of a problem to Iga than Sabalenka, too. Note also that both Sabalenka and Rybakina are already in their peak age, Gauff is still very young and gaining experience, and she's already closing in on #2. If you're talking only about the matches themselves, than Ostapenko is more threatening than Sabalenka.
Winning ANY tournament 3 years in a row requires more than just being world number one. Any player who sets a new record instantly becomes an all time great in my book...and she is still only 22.
Iga is 2 years younger than Elena and won the highest rank tours: 4 Grand Slams, 1 WTA Finals, 7 WTA 1000, 5 WTA 500 (2 Porsche) and only 1 WTA 250 in Warsaw just to make a joy to fani in Poland.
Have you followed her draws in the grand slams? Its mostly subpar players on route to the final, maybe except her 2nd RG. She thrives on slow courts, which most tournaments do now to have more "entertaining" tennis and longer points. More players will figure her out eventually. That's not to say shes not fantastic. She's def one of the best for sure, but i'd like to see actual challenge at all. Look at how RF dominated the weaker era before Rafa and Novak came out - this is reminiscent of that era.
Yes you're right, and she is not bad at Slams at all. Today it's hard to dominate because everyone is growing so fast, but she still managed to win 4 before turning 23. That's excellent compared to the rest!
@@lehieu3308 The question is: can she really improve on that number in future years? Everyone is going crazy about her 4 slams at this supposedly "young" age of 22, but as we all know, there have been several players (Seles and Graf, just to name a few) who achieved even more before even turning 20. And it"s no secret that a player with no serious weapon or money shot, and with very little improvements or adjustments, is doomed to be beaten more and more in the future. I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be the same with Iga, but you have to admit there's a lot to be desired for in her game, as we saw yesterday in that 1st set.
Iga has won Doha 3 times in a row, that's amazing👏👍. I really hope Iga will win French Open 2024. If Iga could win French Open this year, it means she wins French Open 3 times in a row and that would be her 4th French Open totally equal Justine Henin, that would be a phenomenal record. Come on Iga 🏆
Hopefully, this win will do wonders for Iga. She can win against most of the players easily and she does indeed, but a part of her head-to-head against Rybakina is mental. her win today, on a hard court no less, will help her immensely, i think. she showed what a fighter she is. I loved seeing her problem solve, and not give up. best days yet to come for Iga, I hope. Congratulations, and JAZDA forever 💪
@@nurtanassilbek7500go away hater. 2 years ago Iga won 5 tournaments in the row. 37 matches. they are professionals. Rybakina lost in AO fast so it wasnt so bad… Elena needs to be smarter and not play in every tournament. Year is long. And she has a lot of points to defence in USA.
What a mind bending battle that was! I wish they would both understand how incredible they are, and would hog onto all the masters and slams from now on! By practicing together, they could become even better, rule the world for a long time, and revive the wta! They both remind me of Rafa-Fed combo, pure class, no drama, just beutiful tennis.. and finally 1ga manages to break through her mental barier with Elena. Now we can hopefully enjoy many more of these excruciating but incredible rallies between them. It is official: this is the rivalry to look forward to. Rome revealed it last year with the tennis they both displayed, and this confirmed it. These 2 play THE BEST WOMEN'S TENNIS on the planet! And they are the best at it when they do it against each other.. long may they prosper, the BOTH 💙💛

In fact, I estimate that by the end of both of their careers, Elena will have probably won 60% of their matches, much like Rafa against Fed.. it's just that kind of a match up. But it doesn't mean we can't enjoy their matches! On the contrary, we can, and should, cos the rallies they can play against each other are top notch! No regrets, as long as they both leave it all out there, just like they did today.. ✌️🌙

Such a huge win for Iga. She finally gets past Elena after falling behind in that first set, she wins her 3rd Doha title in a row and 7th WTA1000 title, and she gains 500 points because last year's event was a 500, so she'll be #1 for a while longer! Great to see Iga jump that psychological hurdle against Elena.
@@nurtanassilbek7500 yeah yeah when Ryba wins it's because she's better and when Iga wins it's because Ryba was exhausted lol, just give credit where it's due
I was so nervous when I saw Rybakina in the final against Iga. Glad Iga outplayed Rybakina and won the match. Really happy for Iga. She's the champion we need and we deserve.
@@scout7060 I just like Iga a lot and I think she’s amazing. She’s the best player. I find her game better than other tennis players. She’s also a great ambassador of the game and a great role model. she’s already a 4 time grand slam champion at such a young age. I like rybakina too but I like Iga more. I thought I was allowed to have an opinion about my favourite player. I guess the majesty over here has given his verdict. Sorry my lord for having an opinion.
Great champion 1GA! Tough match, very close, but is also great player so it is not a surprise that the match was so hard. But with this win Iga said to her fans and also those who aren't her fans that she can battle Rybakina and can defeat her. Iga - you're incredible! Thank You 🇵🇱🎾💪🦅🏆
A big mental W for Iga! Down a double break in the first set, faced a set point in the TB, and withstood the barrage from Elena on a fast hard court. All good signs for the champ. Congrats to both 🙌🏾🎉
Ей повезло что соперница не отдыхала 10 дней подряд, один выходной у ней ушёл не дорогу от одного турн ра в которай та выиграла в данный турнир, и потом ваша полячка отдыхала в полуфинале, а так рыбакина переиграла бы полячку, просто физически не дотянула, устала, еу не хватило дня отдыха
@@Astana_kz-f8w did Iga make it an excuse after the loss to Noskova? That she had tough two rounds in Australia.. up 4:1 plus a set point, and not be able to close out the first set is mental not physical.
Swiatek, Sabalenka and Rybakina are the WTA's Big 3 with a reason! Swiatek vs. Rybakina is the best rivalry of women tennis, along with Sabalenka vs. Rybakina. Iga is the queen of Doha, congrats for her triumph, but Elena didn't give her an easy time and was great opponent. Can't wait for their next matches in future!
@@westonmeyer3110 the H2H is 5:3 for Sabalenka. It's a good rivalry and they always give us tough matches (except of Brisbane). Swiatek vs. Rybakina matches are also interesting, like an intrigue, except of their Indian Wells match.
Coco, you see that? No one mentions your name in top 3s and this is all your fault. You could have won AO after US Open but you just threw the match that you had. I'm still so disappointed with how you lost there.
@@westonmeyer3110it’s just Iga and Rybakina now ? 😂 look at the ranking, ranking doesn’t lie and at the moment Rybakina is 4th. If you look the scores, there’s no such things as a Top 3. There’s only a Top 2 with Iga and Sabalenka by far, and low below Coco and Ryba fighting for the 3rd spot
The service motion style of Iga Swiatek had evolved towards another higher level. It’s doing great for her. Elena Rybakina as well has gotten so well too! Insane first set tie break!
No one will beat Serena’s legacy anytime soon, 39 major titles 23 in singles, 14 in doubles, and 2 in mixed doubles. 5 wta finals, and 68 titles to her name. Good luck Iga! You’ll need continual dominance over the next 2 decades!
When two giants meet on the battlefield it must be a huge event. Nobody can deny that both are amazing athletes. In my opinion integrity of phisical and mental strengh prevailed in Iga's favour just for inch. 3:32 The turning point and the best momentum of the entire match.
I was always telling people that the Iga that Ryba used to toss to and from doesn't Exist anymore. This new 1GA is on another level. So happy for 1ga and I like the fact that she fights without cowering when she's behind. Keep going 1ga. Love from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
@@westonmeyer3110Boring rybakina played in weak tournament in abu dabi where the best players did not participate because she is gready of money and points but she will never be number 1, deal with it.
what a great player,that is how you play this game of tennis,with poise,confidence,taking control of the game even when you are not playing you're best playing a top notch player like rebakina,and being under a lot of presure to do something that no other player have done,to win this tournament three times,and three in a row,she is great(iga swiatek) and she has alot of matches,and tournaments to be played.i wish coco guaff could play like her.
I am really impressed by Iga. What an achievement: 3 times winner in Doha- back to back to back! No-one has done it before ever! But even more so, I am impressed with her incredible resilience, how was she able to turn around this match and win the 1s against a top player like Rybakina, from 1:4 down to a winning tie-break. And she pretty much destroyed Elena in the 2nd set. What a tough match. I don't think they were able to play their best because of the strong winds. I guess Iga adapted better to these conditions. Congrats to Iga and commiserations to Elena. Iga has improved h2h against Elena finally.👍💪👏👏👏
@IggyAzaleaProMax Yes and no. Iga kicked in the second gear while Elena started to lose it, but Elena is always very dangerous. She is a fighter and proved that on many occasions. Simply, Iga was better on the day
Okay, Iga is absolutely incredible. Sometimes I forget how still young she is and how big are her accomplishments. She suprises me often and reminded how good is her.🥺🥺 CONGRATS MY CHAMPION!! ❤️
@@MrPawello33 agree, but still I believe it becomes a mental thing.2023 and now Iga is not dominating exactly like 2022 but her mental strength has really grown. Great to see that.
Please take into account that Rybakina won Abu Dhabi last week and has come into Doha with no break, playing 9 matches in 10 days. Iga had not played a match since AO (23 days off). Plus, she had a walkover in the SF against Pliskova (another day off) so she was extremely well-rested coming into this final, while Rybakina was pretty burned out. I'm NOT saying Iga didn't deserve to win, just that Rybakina's fatigue definitely played a part in why she didn't perform better, especially in the 2nd set.
@@luchtmens thats just pure excuses. In 2022 swiatek won 5 tournaments in a row, and pliskova would have taken zero energy out of iga, she would have gotten destroyed easily. I dont take into account excuses, i see only the facts and today iga was better and had a really solid game plan especially in the second set
Wow, this match was legendary. I got almost a heart attack. So much drama, twists, unexpected hits. Congrats to both players for delivering the best game ever. You can only regret if you haven't seen the full match.
This was not Rybakina at her best. Iga played well for most of the match apart from some of the 1st set but Rybakina clearly got tired and her power faded while her serve disappeared.
This match was awful are you kidding? 😂 So many unforced errors, both of us were struggling to keep their serves, it was break on break, and both had the energy of a mussel. I'm sorry but you must not have seen many tennis matches to say that honestly 😅
"The victory belongs to the most tenacious ones" 3 consecutive championships in 2022, 2023 and 2024. It is really an immense accomplishment on the behalf of Iga Swiatek. Particularly, it was an extraordinary title from the professional Polish tennis competitor, demonstrating a far more robust, resolute and intrepid performance from beginning to the end, maintaining her large supremacy and vast superiority against the potent rivals in each appearance. She has entirely gone down in the history as a long-term defending champion in Doha, Qatar and attaining her 18th WTA title. Furthermore, I am confident that Doha will become one of her major WTA tourneys throughout her career. It will be designated as her holy land. Huge congratulations to my favorite female tennis competitor!
Did you see the whole match? Because if you did, we must not have seen the same match. Her game was horrible, just like Rybakina's. They spent their time unforced errors and breaking each other without knowing how to defend their serve. Awful final
@@rene551 😂 you are so wrong lol just look at their last H2H in 2023 it’s the opposite, in 2023 Swiatek loose agains Rybakina in Rome, Indian Wells and the AO
In this match, it was obvious that Rybakina thought that the same tactics as in previous matches with Iga would be enough to defeat her, pushing hard to the other side of the net, but it was no longer enough. It is clear that Iga worked hard on this element, so as not to be pushed into defense after strong attacks from her opponents, and she also improved her game at the net.
Elena had won abu dhabi previously and she did a gteat tournament in doha. But this version of Iga was difficult to beat. Nobody was going to win against Iga today. Great tournament!
Iga wkoncu pokonała rybakine widac ze duże znaczenie u igi miala glowa mimo ze nie zagrala dobrego mevzu ale finały sie wygrywa czesto wlasnie głową królowa tego turnieju jest tylko jedna tak sie przechodzi do historii brawo iga👏
Thank Pliskova for withdrawing from the match against Iga. Pliskova gave the title to Iga and that’s a fact. They were not in equal conditions. Elena played a match yesterday while Iga read books and listened to Taylor Swift. I repeat, thank Pliskova for this victory and don’t think too much about yourself.
Iga ⭐⭐⭐ and also enjoyable dynamic play from Rybakina - so quiet too, no annoying noises that Aryna makes best of luck to both of them I wish them both best success this year
@@tudormiller887 Time will tell but its an ominous one as per me ... guys like sabalenka , rybakina ,Gauff wont make it that easy for her .... and there is a dark horse in krejcikova for her ...
Just wait until Rybakina is in better shape and she can go with Iga 3 hours in a final without breaking a sweat. These two are going to elevate the WTA to a new level.
I like both of them.. Iga's win should help her mentally. May be the windy conditions troubled Rybakina more in the first set. Also Iga was smart to put the balls in the middle to avoid angled shots from Rybakina.
Good match. Just like her previous match with Vika, slow start and took a minute to figure out the timing. Iga was able to make adjustments in the match.
@@lucypedzinski1403 aah yup I came to hear fishkina was very tired.... She was suppose to fall over the court due to unconscious condition.... But she didn't gave up.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😋😋 Feeling for fishkina 🤣🤣
Congratulations to Swiatek on winning this tournament for the 3rd time in a row. What a huge achievement it is for her. She also finally defeated Elena Rybakina for the second time in her career. She truly deserves this tittle. Yes, Rybakina was slightly injured, but overall 1ga Swiatek was the better player in the end. I wish for both of them good luck in Dubai WTA 1000 event next week.
Boring rybakina played in weak tournament in abu dabi where the best players did not participate because she is gready of money and points but she will never be number 1, deal with it.
I love that Elena isn't content in just being a mindless ball basher from the baseline, and is actively moving forward up to the net whenever there's an opportunity. Her volley skills are not quite there yet, but It's good to see that she's working hard to improve many aspects of her game. Congrats to Iga for winning Doha 3 times in a row! 😱 a fully deserved win
Iga is very respectful and talented. She has a nice personality on the court.
Swiatek has a very nice personality along with Serena Williams.

She just stopped doing unforced errors one after another. She basically gifted those 2 breaks to Rybakina for free.

She finally gets past Elena after falling behind in that first set, she wins her 3rd Doha title in a row and 7th WTA1000 title, and she gains 500 points because last year's event was a 500, so she'll be #1 for a while longer! Great to see Iga jump that psychological hurdle against Elena.
Please it was never psychological rybakina just always played better in those matches, this time iga won, don’t take the credit away from rybakina
Very well said, psychological hurdle.
Rybakina was a little bit exhausted, that is the reason why Iga won today.
@@nurtanassilbek7500 excuses xd
@@nurtanassilbek7500 yeah yeah when Ryba wins it's because she's better and when Iga wins it's because Ryba was exhausted lol, just give credit where it's due
I was so nervous when I saw Rybakina in the final against Iga. Glad Iga outplayed Rybakina and won the match. Really happy for Iga. She's the champion we need and we deserve.
@@scout7060 I just like Iga a lot and I think she’s amazing. She’s the best player. I find her game better than other tennis players. She’s also a great ambassador of the game and a great role model. she’s already a 4 time grand slam champion at such a young age. I like rybakina too but I like Iga more. I thought I was allowed to have an opinion about my favourite player. I guess the majesty over here has given his verdict. Sorry my lord for having an opinion.
Great champion 1GA!
Tough match, very close, but is also great player so it is not a surprise that the match was so hard.
But with this win Iga said to her fans and also those who aren't her fans that she can battle Rybakina and can defeat her.
Iga - you're incredible!
Thank You 🇵🇱🎾💪🦅🏆
Well said.
They weren't even in same physical condition stop worshipping ass
A big mental W for Iga! Down a double break in the first set, faced a set point in the TB, and withstood the barrage from Elena on a fast hard court. All good signs for the champ. Congrats to both 🙌🏾🎉
This is not a fast hard court
This hard court was very slow and high bouncing which suits Iga's game very well.
Fast hard courts are probably only in Australia.
@@singingInTheCloset_
Miami and Cincinnati are fast.
@@westonmeyer3110 Sydney is fast also.
What a joy watching these two, no grunting, great skill, what a ride that 1st set was!
Never in the field of Polish tennis history was so much owed by so many to one and the only - Iga Świątek - great, relentless warrior.
Ей повезло что соперница не отдыхала 10 дней подряд, один выходной у ней ушёл не дорогу от одного турн ра в которай та выиграла в данный турнир, и потом ваша полячка отдыхала в полуфинале, а так рыбакина переиграла бы полячку, просто физически не дотянула, устала, еу не хватило дня отдыха
Polish tennis barely has any history and I say it as a Pole myself 😂
In polish sport in general 😂
She's the pride of Poland 🇵🇱. 👍
@@Astana_kz-f8w did Iga make it an excuse after the loss to Noskova? That she had tough two rounds in Australia.. up 4:1 plus a set point, and not be able to close out the first set is mental not physical.
Swiatek, Sabalenka and Rybakina are the WTA's Big 3 with a reason! Swiatek vs. Rybakina is the best rivalry of women tennis, along with Sabalenka vs. Rybakina. Iga is the queen of Doha, congrats for her triumph, but Elena didn't give her an easy time and was great opponent. Can't wait for their next matches in future!
Sabalenka is no match for Rybakina anymore. This Rybakina would have crushed Sabalenka again.
It’s just Iga and Rybakina now.
@@westonmeyer3110 the H2H is 5:3 for Sabalenka. It's a good rivalry and they always give us tough matches (except of Brisbane). Swiatek vs. Rybakina matches are also interesting, like an intrigue, except of their Indian Wells match.
Yes but rybakina is closing the distance. She used to be 0-4 against sabalenka and now she won 3 out of their 4 last matches@@xxxxxxxx8634
Coco, you see that? No one mentions your name in top 3s and this is all your fault. You could have won AO after US Open but you just threw the match that you had. I'm still so disappointed with how you lost there.
@@westonmeyer3110it’s just Iga and Rybakina now ? 😂 look at the ranking, ranking doesn’t lie and at the moment Rybakina is 4th.
If you look the scores, there’s no such things as a Top 3. There’s only a Top 2 with Iga and Sabalenka by far, and low below Coco and Ryba fighting for the 3rd spot
The service motion style of Iga Swiatek had evolved towards another higher level. It’s doing great for her. Elena Rybakina as well has gotten so well too! Insane first set tie break!
What a great athlete she is.. I admire both of them.. Hope to see them compete again in Doha
The Queen of tennis! The best female athlete in the world...1GA Swiatk ❤️❤️❤️

@@stevenruiz1504 👏👏👏👏👏👏
When two giants meet on the battlefield it must be a huge event. Nobody can deny that both are amazing athletes. In my opinion integrity of phisical and mental strengh prevailed in Iga's favour just for inch.
3:32 The turning point and the best momentum of the entire match.
What a first set! Amazing ball striking by both players. Then Iga took control.
Iga is playing passionate tennis. Go Iga!
I was always telling people that the Iga that Ryba used to toss to and from doesn't Exist anymore. This new 1GA is on another level. So happy for 1ga and I like the fact that she fights without cowering when she's behind. Keep going 1ga. Love from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Rybakina could have beaten Iga today with more energy and a higher 1st serve percentage.
She will beat Iga again.

When you say “this new 1GA” does that include the Iga who lost in the 2nd round of the AO 1 month ago? 😂🤣🤣
Congra, Iga .The fight , the shap / heavy tops. s, the vollying ,betterserving and fast footwork did the job
what a great player,that is how you play this game of tennis,with poise,confidence,taking control of the game even when you are not playing you're best playing a top notch player like rebakina,and being under a lot of presure to do something that no other player have done,to win this tournament three times,and three in a row,she is great(iga swiatek) and she has alot of matches,and tournaments to be played.i wish coco guaff could play like her.
I am really impressed by Iga. What an achievement: 3 times winner in Doha- back to back to back! No-one has done it before ever! But even more so, I am impressed with her incredible resilience, how was she able to turn around this match and win the 1s against a top player like Rybakina, from 1:4 down to a winning tie-break. And she pretty much destroyed Elena in the 2nd set. What a tough match. I don't think they were able to play their best because of the strong winds. I guess Iga adapted better to these conditions. Congrats to Iga and commiserations to Elena. Iga has improved h2h against Elena finally.👍💪👏👏👏
It was all over after the first set: the result was inevitable after that. 🎾
@IggyAzaleaProMax Yes and no. Iga kicked in the second gear while Elena started to lose it, but Elena is always very dangerous. She is a fighter and proved that on many occasions. Simply, Iga was better on the day
When Iga is moving around swiftly she is hard to top! Her confidence as a top player is coming back🎉❤😊
Iga finally gets a win against Rybakina good for her.
The first set was amazing
She already won against her once. Now Rybakina-Swiatek H2H is 3-2.

I believe Rybakina will also be an all-time great when it's all said and done but right now, only Iga can be mentioned in that conversation.
Doesn't Osaka have four grand slams?
I really respect these 2 players. Great athlets and human beings. Bright future in front of them.
IGA - congrats to You and Yor team🎾♥️👏💪🎉🤩
Okay, Iga is absolutely incredible. Sometimes I forget how still young she is and how big are her accomplishments. She suprises me often and reminded how good is her.🥺🥺 CONGRATS MY CHAMPION!! ❤️
The Champion never give up 😤. Iga made the history. Lady and gentleman lets stand for the ❤ champion Miss Świątek 👑
Iga Baby
Iga’s confidence should be peaking from this victory for the rest of the season. Happy to see her finally win against Rybakina.
It wasnt her first win againt Rybka. Also twice she lost last year , she had physical issues. Good to remember that.
@@MrPawello33 agree, but still I believe it becomes a mental thing.2023 and now Iga is not dominating exactly like 2022 but her mental strength has really grown. Great to see that.
Finally iga figured out rybakina, especially in the 2nd set she was looking really comfortable
Please take into account that Rybakina won Abu Dhabi last week and has come into Doha with no break, playing 9 matches in 10 days. Iga had not played a match since AO (23 days off). Plus, she had a walkover in the SF against Pliskova (another day off) so she was extremely well-rested coming into this final, while Rybakina was pretty burned out. I'm NOT saying Iga didn't deserve to win, just that Rybakina's fatigue definitely played a part in why she didn't perform better, especially in the 2nd set.
Figured her out? More like outlasted her physically - let's see when those two meet at Wimbledon
@@luchtmens thats just pure excuses. In 2022 swiatek won 5 tournaments in a row, and pliskova would have taken zero energy out of iga, she would have gotten destroyed easily. I dont take into account excuses, i see only the facts and today iga was better and had a really solid game plan especially in the second set
@@TriggeredMonkey there isnt only wimbledon my little bro. There are countless other tournaments that they could meet
@@TriggeredMonkeyYou know that Ryba is strong in Wimbledon, French Open….welcome to Iga’s backyard 🎉
Wow, this match was legendary. I got almost a heart attack. So much drama, twists, unexpected hits. Congrats to both players for delivering the best game ever. You can only regret if you haven't seen the full match.
This was not Rybakina at her best. Iga played well for most of the match apart from some of the 1st set but Rybakina clearly got tired and her power faded while her serve disappeared.
Match wasn't even fair, goofy
This match was awful are you kidding? 😂 So many unforced errors, both of us were struggling to keep their serves, it was break on break, and both had the energy of a mussel. I'm sorry but you must not have seen many tennis matches to say that honestly 😅
@@juliehambtou To make long story short: the less worse won today :-)
@@juliehambtou the unforced errors were mostly caused by the swirling wind on the court which prevented both players from performing their best.
"The victory belongs to the most tenacious ones"
3 consecutive championships in 2022, 2023 and 2024. It is really an immense accomplishment on the behalf of Iga Swiatek. Particularly, it was an extraordinary title from the professional Polish tennis competitor, demonstrating a far more robust, resolute and intrepid performance from beginning to the end, maintaining her large supremacy and vast superiority against the potent rivals in each appearance. She has entirely gone down in the history as a long-term defending champion in Doha, Qatar and attaining her 18th WTA title. Furthermore, I am confident that Doha will become one of her major WTA tourneys throughout her career. It will be designated as her holy land.
Huge congratulations to my favorite female tennis competitor!
So happy for Swiatek ❤
The she came back so many times in the 1st set -a Champion player
Only five minutes for a final? It's just a lack of common sense from you at this point.

1GA this time around, showed Ryba who is boss. She played like a true number 1 player, fighting from behind and still win the set.
Did you see the whole match? Because if you did, we must not have seen the same match. Her game was horrible, just like Rybakina's. They spent their time unforced errors and breaking each other without knowing how to defend their serve. Awful final
not to mention the fact that Iga got a walk-over on her semifinal match and that was like the 10th match in 11 days for Elena

@@juliehambtou Oh so you mean Ryba can only beat Iga when she is injured? Yes I looked at the previous match and IGA WON.
Well done Iga...great match!!!🎉🎉🎉
In this match, it was obvious that Rybakina thought that the same tactics as in previous matches with Iga would be enough to defeat her, pushing hard to the other side of the net, but it was no longer enough. It is clear that Iga worked hard on this element, so as not to be pushed into defense after strong attacks from her opponents, and she also improved her game at the net.
❤❤ you’re the best Iga!!😘
Iga in beast mode is a sprinter
Very good progression for Iga 🙌
Swiatek will be #1 for 100 weeks on April 29.
Let's hope she gets there. It'll be tough to stay out in front of Sabalenka but she got a good draw in Dubai so maybe she can seal the deal there.
Elena had won abu dhabi previously and she did a gteat tournament in doha. But this version of Iga was difficult to beat. Nobody was going to win against Iga today. Great tournament!
