Less than a week separates us from the start of the last women’s tennis tournament of the year. On November 2, in the capital of Saudi Arabia – Riyadh, the WTA Finals tournament will begin with the participation of eight of the best players in the world. The event will feature Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka (1. WTA), Iga Świątek (2. WTA), Americans Coco Gauff (3. WTA), Jessica Pegula (4. WTA), Kazakhstan’s Jelena Rybakina (5. WTA), Italian Jasmine Paolini (6. WTA), Chinese Qinwen Zheng (7. WTA) and Czech Barbora Krejcikova (13. WTA).
Iga Świątek is already in Riyadh
Iga Świątek will debut in Riyadh with a new coach. In mid-October, Belgian Wim Fissette became the coach, replacing Tomasz Wiktorowski. – Iga is a role model for many players thanks to the constant intensity with which she plays and her focus on her work. I am all the more excited about this cooperation, hoping that we will both improve and strive to fulfill our sporting dreams. Go, Iga! – wrote the new coach Świątek at the time.
Iga Świątek has been preparing for the WTA Finals for several dozen days now. Although the tournament will start on Saturday, November 2, it is already known that the five-time winner of Grand Slam tournaments (four times Roland Garros and once US Open) and her training staff are in place – in Riyadh. You can read about it on the portal X na Tenis Na Okrągło – tennis news. The recording from Riyadh, which shows Iga Świątek, her psychologist Daria Abramowicz and coach Fissette, was posted by Australian tennis player Ellen Perez, who will compete in the doubles with American Nicole Melichar-Martinez.
