QATAR OPEN 2024- SWIATEK MAKES HISTORY

No one had won the Qatar open championship three times in a row. Something remarkable was that 23 straight set wins and 12 straight match wins in Qatar. It was her 18^th career singles title and her first in 2024. The only female who has won three WTA titles was Serena Williams between 2013 & 2015 at a Miami open

.

It was a tough matchup as Swiatek had to come from 4-1 down to draw level at 4-4 and 8-8 to secure the first set (10-8) 7-6. During the match, Rybakina suffered a slight injury while trying to serve and this provided time for Swiatek to receive some coaching advice and bounced back from the 4-1 deficit. The opening set which Swiatek went on to win , lasted for 90minutes and Swiatek will go on  to also win the second which looked less dramatic than the first.

The whole match lasted for about two hours and 17minutes and was one which helped Iga swiatek  make history in Qatar.
