Who else is here in March 2022? 🙋♀️ 🥲
Is Iga going to be number 1 automatically now?
@@d.t.5390 she needs only one win in Miami to be n.1
@@mariaherman4228 thanks, that's great. she deserves it
@@d.t.5390 Yes. She would never be #1 if Barty hadn't retired.
@@queent3343 strong point. I guess we'll never know
What a great rivalry these two could have had if Barty kept playing
Never realized how good Barty was. Her weapons were so varied and methodical, especially as noted in this match. That slicing backhand was a thing of beauty.
@@Golf05 That slice prevented anyone from playing their game. So low, so unpredictable. Not even Swiatek could figure it out
Barty was incredibly talented. Here, she was very dominant, despite Swiatek playing an excellent match. What a loss for tennis Barty's leaving was.
@@jansnauwaert1785 et maintenant swiatek joue mieux qu’elle
@@obaatch3282 In French? Interesting. But no, on the contrary, Barty is still a far better No. 1 than Iga Swiatek, especially after Iga's poor display in Indian Well's semi-finals.
Whoever edited this video needs a raise! No stupid double replays (like seriously, we can rewind ourselves if we want lol) - just great points and quality tennis. 🤝
Agree with you 100%
I love to watch Barty playing, she makes hard things look easy, like Roger does
That is what I was thinking.
My gosh that ad point to go up 5-2, what a master class from Barty in mixing it up from the backcourt and controlling the rally! I love both these wonderful players and would love to see them contest many more matches with their exquisite craft.
I miss Ash. No one hits the ball and her game like she does in the tour anymore. Amazing backhand slice and forehand that only she has.
100%
I can never get enough of Barry’s sliced backhand. So beautiful to watch.
Exactly
Iga is definitely better today! It was a time of change...
better in fornt of those mugs and mental midgest
Sad we won’t see this rivalry over the years now.
Instead, we will perhaps see a rivalry between Sabalenka and Swiatek (another possible contender could be Rybakina).
@@jansnauwaert1785 swiatek tue barty
@@ytcorleone609wiatek a 0 variations elle sait pas faire de slice , d’amortie et a une main médiocre au filet comme on a vu à wim… elle a pas beaucoup progressé depuis hein
Barty is such an inspiration. When she first broke the top 20, her backhand slice was loose and error-prone, her forehand was unreliable, her serve was good nothing special. Since becoming #1, she's consistently near the top for ace leaderboard with an incredible serve for her height, her forehand is explosive but accurate, and her backhand slice applies such persistent pressure. Just an amazing athlete whose improvement has been so fun to watch.
@Oats & Goats: That is the mark of a champion or an elite player that is dedicated. Always trying to improve things.
She’s so versatile too.
Her precision and power is outstanding
Agreed. Great to watch with her versatile and varied game 👍
right
Personally the biggest improvement I’ve seen from last year already is the depth of her forehand and slice great player really hope she can shut the haters up and win a slam on hardcourt
This is a good match. Iga Swiatek played well. Ashley Barty just played better.
Barty encantou a todos com seu alto nível...no tênis e nas relações humanas. Mulher que mostrou que não precisa abrir mão da doçura e sensibilidade para ser forte! Admirável! 💖👏😉💫🌻
Iga might be calm and no regret for her performance…..
Ash’s tennis is currently outstanding. Unbeatable and exceptional technique 👏
Ash did not play anybody. We will see how exceptional she is when the Grand Slams start.
Lies again? Teach Me English
@@cola7up43 Faced 3 Top-20 players in a row and beat them in straight sets and played Cori Gauff (#22) in the second round and first singles match of 2022. Get over your Tall Poppy Syndrone.
Well, Iga had no regrets because she outshined Barty's achievements in just 1.5 year
@@SmithyPL - yes, now we know more. But my comment is over 2 years old nowadays 😂
man you really don't see swiatek get beat like this anymore
Too bad Barty retired, such an amazing player and still young also, her precision is out of this world. AMAZING
Barty beat Gauff, Kenin, Swiatek and Rybakina in just this tournament, what a player. Hope she comes back one day, still so young.
Bro Swiatek couldn’t beat Barty on clay or hard…she’s would be neither world no. 1 nor have 4 RG titles had Barty not handed her a talentless WTA on a silver platter
This is an interesting glimpse into what might have been a great rivalry.
So swiatek used cheap tactics to distract her opponents. How is that not a hindrance
Long way to go for Iga yet, but I believe she'll reach there eventually. Well Barty nothing I can say, she's a monster, number 1 for a reason
@Randy Hernandez Yes doctor, this is the guy
"Long way for Iga" - not necessarily. Iga already WON a grand slam championship (the 2020 French Open) so don't forget that. Of course, Iga is only 20 years old and she has time to work on her game :)
@@ohaggie Yeah I know that I watched it live. Still a very very long way, consistency is key for a true champion, which as much as I love her she lacks (and Iga fans are totally unable to acknowledge that). She's not there yet, saying that she's is being totally delusional. But I believe she'll be number 1 eventually.
@@avallach2061 - I never said Iga was 'there yet' - I said that she is young and has time to improve on her game...LOL. My favourite player is actually Ash Barty and not Iga but I do like watching Iga play. She has drive and determination as most players do. Yes, of course, consistency is key.
@@ohaggie yeah I didn't mean to be an ass it's just that Iga is my favorite player but the fans treat her like the best player in the universe whenever she wins and never acknowledge she has a lot to improve yet, it's just annoying. But I'm with you, love seeing Barty play too, peace!
The whole women's tour is happy from a competetive standpoint that Ash Barty retired. Who has benefited the most from this, lga Swiatek.
That’s not true Swiatek is a tennis prodigy. Win her first grand slam at 19 and we knew she would dominate the game later or sooner. She is a completely different player since her defeat to Ostapenko. Did Barty had a streak or won consecutive titles? I don’t think so
@@stef2330 Barty was beating her straight up head to head. lt's on video. Now it would be wrong to say that Iga wasn't going to catch up and make it a rivalry if Barty hasn't retired. No one was going to stop Iga from winning majors. Based on their past to ignore what's already on tape is kind of strange.
Iga will dominate for quite some time. lf Barty was still playing Iga would eventually start beating her and then the 2 would go back and forth. That's the way sports works. Look at the big 3 in men's tennis. Too bad we won't get to see Barty vs Swiatek for the next 5 years.
@@gregoryphillips3969 yeah, ostapenko (3-0) and sakkari (3 times in a row last year) were beating her straight up head to head. this new iga beat sakkari 2 times in a row and still waiting for a penko rematch 😂. It’s sad Ash retired but it’s not the first time a top player o world number one retires and iga will be probably done with the sport if she wins an Olympic medal at Paris 2024 and go to college (age 23). This dominance from Iga will rise the level of the field so the rivalries are coming especially on grass right now since iga is still learning how to play on it.
@@stef2330 Yes but l guess Barty and her inner circle were the only ones who knew she was retiring. One has to wonder how this desire of hers impacted her efforts in the last part of her career. She did retire as the world number 1. A fully motivated Barty with here tremendous variety would have been tough for anyone to play going forward.
@@stef2330 Why on earth would Iga retire if she wins Olympic medal? The concept of retiring because of college is even more bizarre.
Iga's serve is her downfall in matches like these. When her opponents can neutralize her groundies, she can't rely on her serve for free points. It needs some fixing. Barty, on the other hand, has an efficient serve that can bail her out of tough situations & give her free points.
Barty is phenomenal. She is in a class of her own. Class off and on the court.
What a tennis by barty.. it is amazing to see where she hits the balls and how accurate she plays
Barty = Grand Master Yoda / Iga = powerful kickass junior Jedi.... May the force be with you both!
@Randy Hernandez She's the world number 1 playing fewer tournaments.... that's not something you can achieve thanks to "form". It's a fact, not an opinion.
man, her backhand slice is amazing. we need her to come back. she is the only one who can stop iga. it's too boring now
Ash is more than ready for the AO2022! Great serving game, powerful strokes, including an improved backhand slice!
Iga Swiatek looks unbeatable at the Indian Wells championship, having destroyed Naomi Osaka 6-4, 6-0. So either Swiatek improves dramatically in the last 3 months or Barty is just that good.
The WTA has found their new cute White woman to give confidence and momentum to, Iga, giving her such easy draws after her Doha win. There are certain low seeds who would give Iga trouble in early rounds and the WTA know this so they put those other players in the other draws. I will never condone Iga as a legit champion until the WTA plays fair with EVERYONE instead of favoring Iga. Barty was the True #1.
This is for the halfwitted fans: of course she would have to face tougher players in the semis but surely the finals, but seeing how she's been handed the momentum and confidence by WTA, the other top players are played with their minds. WTA know this. Cheats, bias and prejudice is what they are.
@@markuse3472 Accusing everyone of the racism so there are others to blame for your lack of talent and hard work is pretty convenient, but playing a victim makes you a true racist here.

It's okay iga, semi-finals are not a bad thing, you always give your best and I always like the way you play.
I hope this year you can win a grand slam
Hmmmm I think she’s looking for more than semi finals now lmao
@@Rich-ip2wg fr 😂
No regrets for my lovely and brilliant Iga: Barty right now is exceptional, so congrats to her, she's the true n° 1 and deservedly so.
This match emphasizes the crucial importance of the serve at the highest level: usually, Iga takes 1 break in every set, but makes 2 and that's enough to win most matches. But at this level even 1 break is so hard to score, let alone 2... simply unsustainable. This is enough to tilt the match from the very beginning, not only technically but also mentally: there's overwhelming pressure on Iga backhand and forehand, which are literally pushed to their limit, and also the inescapable unforced errors. Serve is the priority, but there's more; Barty's superior technique and wonderful variety have to be of inspiration for Iga, especially more online backhands, more clever/tactical back shots, and last but not the least netplay. Barty is definitely the "Maestra" to follow, jazdaaa!
Lovely post.
This match did not emphasize anything, but how the WTA is still cheating on draws. Barty did not have but two people and they are the ones she usually beats. I notice that she did not get Azarenka or Shelby Rogers in her draw. They gave her opponents where she did not do anything but stand her a$$ up the whole tournament and no she does not deserve to be in the number one spot, because she does not currently have the most slams.
@@cola7up43 I don’t think you watched this match very closely.
@@zonkerharris1144 "Lovely and feminine" lol. Just for your entertainment? Then the beauty queen had to play a real tennis player..

Really want to see a Barty vs Osaka match in 2022.
ME TOO
Imagine in the AO finals both playing their best would be awesome
Osaka will retire… she will suffer after the loss for 2 years…
It may be expecting to much from Osaka to take on Barty .
She needs to get tough match fitness back try mid season 6 months from now...
Niestety to spotkanie pokazało, że Barty nie przypadkowo jest liderką rankingu i jej poziom jest na razie wyższy niż naszej Igi. Australijka wygrała zasłużenie. Na pewno Iga ma nad czym pracować, ale wierzę, że prędzej czy później zrewanżuje się Australijce tak samo jak zrewanżowała się Badosie i Azarence. Współpraca z trenerem Wiktorowskim przyniesie dobre efekty. Już w tym turnieju było widać pozytywy. Nawet w dzisiejszym meczu Iga miała swoje momenty. Starała się i walczyła do końca. To też jest ważne. Liczę na dobry wynik Igi w Australian Open. Trzymam za nią kciuki.
28 własnych błędów. Tak to nawet nie wygra z 50 w rankingu. 100% winy maści.
@@abecadloabc1 nic nie umiesz
Barty has a really good serve too considering she's only 5ft 5.
an exceptional one! Give Iga the same serve, and their match would really be competitive.
@@lucasalvarani317 Finally, someone who knows tennis. I watched all of Iga's matches last year. (online) I have been saying this for some time. Her first serve percentage (for the year) was the lowest of the 8 players who played in the finals in Guadalajara last year. It is often in the 50s or lower. Not only that, but it is not much of a weapon when she is getting her first serve in (she had 7 aces against Barty which is unusually high for Iga). Until Iga can transform her serve into a real weapon, she will have trouble against the top players. All of the top players have very good serves (Barty, Osaka, Sabalenka, Pliskova, Sakkari, etc.....). Barty is very small, yet she has one of the best serves in the game. She had 17 aces against Kenin and hit many more serves that were not aces but were unreturnable. Kenin had no chance. Barty did not serve as well against Iga, but she is still able to put players on the defense, even when she isn't hitting aces. Iga always has a few weak service games. She can get by with it against lesser opponents but against the top players, it will not work. I hope her new coach will concentrate on strengthening her serve. If not, she will continue to have trouble against some of the top players.
@@888drpepper I agree. She lacks the power serve, but can probably develop a precision serve like Barty. Even the variety of the second serve is crucial: she has a good kick but the opponent is expecting it.. she needs at least another reliable option. Let's hope in the work with the new coach, and grazie for the kind words!
I agree it really is amazing Ash is short yet she can serve over 110 miles per hour. Her serve is superb.
@@JordanjamesX speed, placement and variety... perfect kill combination!
Barty the goat
Don't know who she is???
The grace and the smoothness with which Barty moves around is exceptional. Hardly any squeaky sound is heard while she adjusts to play her shots. The only other player to match her grace is federer. While Iga’s style of play is athletic and technical Barry’s style has both plus the ballet-like feel…
Dumbest retirement ever. Would have been such an incredible rivalry.
Barty the real no 1 and the other doesn't deserve to be no 1 should be rybakina
The ranking decides who is the number 1 - not you, pal...
March 2023: Swiatek is still nowhere near the level Barty displays here.
July 2024: she still isn't. Doubt it she will ever reach Barty's level.
watching this feels like Ash is the only one to beat Iga. Other players need to step up or ash come back from retirement!
Barty is on a league of her own.
Brawo IGA ŚWIĄTEK za piękną walkę i wytrwałość . Pozdrawiam
3:15 Iga Swiatek's stomping around is hilarious. I just wonder what would happened if Barty intentionally hit the ball at her body
Iga would deserve it. No hate .. just facts.
Barty wouldn't do that anyway.. she has control ad is quite classy .
Looked like a great match
That was funny, but Barty would never hit someone deliberately, least of all her friend.
Clearly a hindrance as well.
Se IgA avesse la stessa determinazione di Barry, potrebbe vincere tutto
Haha! Contrast it with Ash just walking to get the towel as Iga struck a similar overhead in the second set.
Lucky for iga the real number one step down from tennis
ASH you'll be greatly missed. Shouldn't have just continued little bit since you had all the skillset for the game. Anyway your life your decisions. All the best.
Iga always does the funny dance to distract her opponent at the overhead. No tricks from Barry. She was and always will be the greatest.
Barty is deceptive, a true professional. Iga will improve with new coach. I like both players, a joy to watch
I hope Ash Barty returns to tennis one day
That Barty slice backhand is reminiscent of Steffi
Barty announce your comeback :\
Slice and serve - that was a difference. Iga played a great tennis today…
Barty’s slice is phenomenal, seen in Steffi Graf since I remember…
Not casual to take advantage of slice nowadays.
Beautiful, technical, sophisticated tennis vs Sabalenka’s bum,out,bum,out❌

at 3:10 is Swiateks stomping around not that grounds for hinderance? Obviously Barty won the point but she did look a bit annoyed
No, it was just funny. She knew she had lost the point and didn't know what to do with herself.
@ferzy09 I think they're friends, it was just in fun.
Esse era o "jogo chave" para Barthy. A única que poderia talvez conseguir jogar duro contra ela, nesse torneio, era Iga Swiatek. Passpu por ela e foi campeã...
Swaitak next world number one amazing player
I'm an aussie, so I am a bit biased. It's been so good to watch Ash over the last three years. When I first saw her, I thought, top twenty for sure, maybe top ten, outside chance of winning the aussie open. I always thought her lack of height would make it tough for her. However, she has just done so well. She has such a brilliant serve and amazing slice. A number of writers have said she is a modern day Hingis, small with great skills. She's got a better serve than Martina. Maybe not quite as good as Martina at net and Martina had a better topspin backhand but its an interesting comparison. It's a little like seeing a man of five nine or five ten, dominating the men's game. Hewitt did that for a while but he didn't have Ash's skills. Well done, Ash. We are all so proud of you. An even better person, too. A national treasure. xx
All in all, a great start to the season for Iga. She's a wonderful ball striker, great athlete, and it seems like she's getting her timing on hard courts, which could be trouble for her competition. She struggled with her confidence at the end of last season, and hope those troubles are behind her; and, they are judging by how competitive she was in this match. Looking for big things from Iga this year.
Now that Barty has left, this is Iga's chance to shine (with a super talent like Barty: she would probably be eclipsed).
You were so right! 👏🏼
@@ExSit18 Now, if I could only predict those winning lottery numbers :p lol.
@@chadbelgrave3033 share with me Please 😂
Barty remains on Graf -Backhand slice and forehand topspin !! Also very good service both !!! Graf was ca. 360 weeks number 1 !
Pity that Barty stops playing ! Perhaps she could break Graf `record !
Ash just looks more determined and focused too. Love both of them this should hopefully be a good year for women's tennis
Barty retired from tennis otherwise no one can beat her. That's why swiatek is winning without barty
the rival was strong today! applause for both players ! Poland 😉
Boy how good is Barty right now. That nasty slice backhand even helps her set up her fantastic forehand against the most solid baseliners. Hugely Impressive as well on the manner she conducts herself.
I miss seeing Barty play so much that I come to TH-cam to search for old highlights of her. Why did you retire so suddenly at your peak?
No motivation. Personal life is more important.
I miss Ash so much. Iga has a brilliant career ahead of her.
Swiatek is a brilliant player, barty is just number 1 , congrats to both players for this outstanding performance
barty would've DOMINATED 2022 .. if she'd played on!!!!!!!!!!!! .. swiatek's good and talented but NOT AS GOOD AS BARTY WAS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR!!!! enough caps for ya??
I can't remember the last time a slice backhand, or the way it was deployed, made me gasp. Amazing Ash Barty! And a great run for Iga, who will surely grow into her game and dominate if she stays healthy!
iga is the 2nd best player in the world

@@bibek6713 to bad Ash Barty retired so early.
Barty had the ability to hit the hard sliced backhand with only a slight amount of backspin. Such a shot does not lamely float back over the net. Ken Rosewall was an expert at it, used it as an effective passing shot.
My 2 favorite tennis players on the WTA.
Well done iga i think you were brilliant . Two things which i have noticed today in this match is iga can also do slice backhand if she practicsed more and work on it moreover if she can improve her serve i am sure it will be a deadly combination . Good luck for your next match . Jazda
iga swiatek so beautiful man😍
Iga you need a stronger service game ...... you already there . 🔥💜
online backhand too! Her cross-court backhand is great but she doesn't mix it enough, so the other player can anticipate where she'll play and forcing Iga to search increasingly acute angles... which is not sustainable at this level.
@@lucasalvarani317, I think she has a good one, she just didn't use it during this match, at least I didn't see it in the highlights.
Barty reminds me somewhat of steffi Graf
I'd already forget what a great player Barty was(is). The 2 best players in the last 5 yrs put on a really good show.
this could have been an amazing rivalry
Barty, proving once again, that she deserves the world number one ranking. Her slice and serve is lethal, it sets her up so well for her forehand winners
Swiatek, still young, but of so much potential and talent, still needs to work on her mental game as well as her tactics on court. She needs to have a plan B and C when things are not going her way. However, she’s definitely on the path to be a future world number 1 player + multiple grand slam winner
Congratulations.
Great Wariors🌹
I really love Swiatek. She's my favourite female player. But I think the issue with many female players is that they are ok with losing, they don't hate losing. The thing with the big 3 in mens tennis is that they hate losing so much that it makes them push to win. The girls could push a bit more. But I hope Swiatek will become stronger.
Despite Ash doubling down on her permanent retirement. It definitely makes you wonder how many more Slams she'd racked up? It was great to see Wozniacki return. She actually played well in the U.S. Open despite finally being beat. A lot of great talent in women's tennis at the moment.
She could’ve had a calender slam in 2022 actually. Iga would have been the only challenge at Roland Garros and nobody could have contested her at Wimbledon. US Open would be a struggle but she could take it
this is why barty is no 1 but also iga looks a lot better then from wta finals and played well despite losing
yeap
Very true. One can tell that swiatek's been putting in the work and honing her craft.
Great quality tennis and intensity!!
That crowd advantage! Stadium roars when Ash wins a point.
... and it should
Barty's forehand is the only one that can compete with Iga's. Sad she retired.
Barty was pure class. Even now, being undisputed nr 1, Swiatek could learn a lot from this match: 1. improve the slice!!! 2. Precise serve (not the power) does the job!!!
Si Barty no se hubiera retirado ya hubiese ganado 7 GRANDES hasta el momento
Cant believe she retired
Dzięki Iga za piękne emocje, jeszcze dopadniesz tą Ash spokojnie.
But IGA is a big threat for sure and a title contender! To strong physically running after all balls like NADAL at younger age.
The ball at 5:10 looked out and the chair umpire should’ve called it, but also Swiatek should’ve challenged it
Igo walczyłaś jak równy z równym. Barty już wie, że następny mecz jaki będzie, to będzie Twój. Dla mnie ten mecz nie był przegrany. Proszę trzymaj się zdrowo.
Watching this performance i believe i am seeing placeholders waiting for the next ultratalented star. technique is good but when it meets talent+skill say goodnight.
Barty's on fire her game is so clean and effective. Serious candidate por AO 2022.
Love Ash’s game! Just love it!!!
Came back to enjoy Barty. She’s like butter. Effortless tennis.
To make Swiatek look that much less good than Barty shows just how spectacular Barty plays here because Swiatek plays amazingly.
Barty and Swiatek rivarly could've been legendary
720p videos in 2022!!! Please sort it out. It's horrible to watch!!!
I know, right? That too by an elite institution
I could literally upload a 4k video from my phone, right now!
Barty is a superior athlete with a superior brain to go along with it. Such a smart player.
So, ordinary guys can measure that? I quess you got "superior" nose...
Barty is enjoying the process of improving her game...trying to have fun playing tennis..an approach which shows in her results
3:12 what kind of NONSENSE did Swiatek try to pull, that goes beyond hindrance?! Take that behavior elsewhere, that behavior has no place in tennis. Meanwhile at 5:41 Barty shows how a true champion handles such a situation.
Is it just me... but Iga, after the explosion of applause for Barty, looked a bit intimidated ... and she should be more motivated ... I WILL SHOW YOU .. !! She is young, and her character and personality are constantly shaping ... anyway you can see a colossal difference in favour of her approach to court fights ... also in this match against Barty ... who was almost flawless ...
Agree
Yes, she was fighting much more during this tournament. It was good to see.
It looks like Iga didn't convert enough shots to forehands. Even though there were some where her backhand did the job, she had opportunities to make things tougher by hitting her forehand.
I would like for Iga to realize in some instances more that she should probably unleash the forehand more. She has the movement, from what I can tell, to cover enough space and make life difficult for her opponents.
