Tennis, Paolini loses in the final in Cincinnati with Swiatek

Jasmine Paolini fights and puts everything he has in the field but he can nothing against an Iga Swiatek yes very foul and uncertain, but still a champion. The Polish conquers Cincinnati’s WTA 1000 by beating the blue in two sets (7-5 6-4 in an hour and 47 minutes) at the end of a match that until the end was uncertain thanks to the determination and determination of Jasmine, who was in the wake of the Polish champion as much as possible, but in the long run there was nothing to do against the Swiattek, who won the eleventh 1000 of his 1000 career. The comparisons between the two speak clearly, six wins out of six for Iga, but this time it was much more struggled than the previous ones.

The game

–

The first set starts with a Swiattek that calling distracted is little. The Polish at the start of match is simply disastrous: an infinite sequence of errors, double fouls, uncertain services, with a truly confusing attitude, not from her. On the contrary, Jasmine is perfect on the piece, completely in the game. The 0-3 in favor of Paolini is therefore not only understandable, but also deserved. Unfortunately for the blue, Iga’s technical and tactical confusion does not last long. From 0-3 the Swiattek flies on 5-3 in no time, almost as if it were an insurrection against herself, after those early game almost insulting, for one of its value. On the other hand, however, there is a determined player, ready and concentrated like Paolini. After giving 5 game in a row, Jasmine holds the service and goes on 4-5, and then snatched the joke once again in Iga, also saving a set point trying a risky network descent, but which in the end pays. Another straight error of the former n.1 in the world, and we are on 5-5. The equality, however, does not last long: another break of the Swiatek immediately, and this time the 4-time queen of Roland Garros is not wrong, and the first set ends 7-5. However, it is certainly not the swiatek of the great occasions, but on the other side there is another great player, Paolini. Iga, however, when the first wins has a record of 105 to 0 (!) In the games played in the 1000. The numbers, they count something. In the second set it is a terrible sequence of breaks and counterbreaks seamlessly. The Swiattek, still very failed, climbs 1-0, Paolini takes it back and carries on 2-1. Equality and balance last until 3-3, when Iga tears the joke, once again, to Jasmine, which is increasingly struggling to keep the rhythm, and the next game cancels two break balls at the blue, going on 5-3, and then closes 6-4. The compliments remain at Paolini, at Swiattek La Gloria. With this victory, the Polish climbs over the Gauff and becomes (rightly) the new number 2 behind Sabalenka, with an open record of 13 wins at 0, after the triumph of Wimbledon. Paolini rises number 8 in the world, and will be a high seed head in New York. How it deserves.
