Swiatek closed the Orange Group of the WTA Finals in Riyadh, with an elimination. The Polish player, who has seen Aryna Sabalenka overtake her in the WTA ranking in recent weeks, is not experiencing a period of excellent form, but will try to reverse the trend in the last commitment, before the well-deserved holidays.

Iga Swiatek has admitted she is unsure whether she is going to watch any tennis after her idol Rafael Nadal retires from the sport. The world No 2 revealed Nadal was the only player she watched after meeting with the Spanish legend in Malaga.
