Poland’s tennis star Iga Swiatek has achieved another milestone after her recent win against America’s Coco Gauff.
The 22-year-old defeated the young American sensation in the WTA Finals in Cancun, Mexico with a score of 6-0, 7-5 on Wednesday.
With that win, Swiatek has matched the record of the former world number one America’s Monica Seles of taking the fewest matches to win 30 times against opponents who are in the top 10 in the WTA Rankings.
Swiatek will be hoping to continue her winning streak when she will face Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur in the final match of the group stage of the competition on Thursday.
It will be the seventh meeting between the two players on the tennis court. In the last six outings, the current world number two has an edge as she emerged victorious on four occasions.
The last meeting between the two took place in Stuttgart in April earlier this year where Swiatek emerged victorious, after being awarded a walkover.
Jabeur will also come into the match high on confidence as she defeated the reigning Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova in her previous outing in the competition in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-3 on Wednesday.
30 - With victory over Coco Gauff in Cancun, Iga Swiatek has matched Monica Seles for the fewest matches taken (44) to achieve 30 wins against opponents ranked in the WTA's top 10 in the past four decades. Dominant. #WTAFinals | @WTA @WTAFinals @WTA_insider
