Iga Swiatek's WTA Finals win and Coco Gauff's US Open title among fan picks for best moment of 2023 WTA Tour
WTA
The WTA
Finals have come to an end, marking the closure of the 2023 season, and fans
have taken to social media to choose their favorite moments of the year with Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff as favourites.
The
incredible year-end finale in Cancun, with Iga Swiatek winning the Finals by
defeating Jessica Pegula and reclaiming the world No. 1 ranking, was
undoubtedly one of the most memorable moments of the year.
Swiatek had
near-total dominance in 2022 after Ash Barty's retirement, but a stellar year
from Aryna Sabalenka, who clinched her first Grand Slam title at the Australian
Open, allowed her to briefly dethrone Swiatek from the top of the rankings
after 75 weeks.
Sabalenka
wasn't the only one to enjoy a fantastic year, as two new Grand Slam champions
emerged in 2023: Marketa Vondrousova at Wimbledon and 19-years-old Coco Gauff
at the US Open.
The Czech
player was the surprise of SW19, becoming the first unseeded player to claim
the title, defeating Ons Jabeur in the final, who lost her third consecutive
Grand Slam final.
As for the
young star Coco Gauff, during the hardcourt swing, she secured her first WTA
500 title, followed by her first WTA 1000 victory, and finally, she clinched
her first Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows, defeating the world No. 1 at that
time, Aryna Sabalenka, in the final.
Additionally,
in the WTA 1000 tournaments, there were eight different champions in nine
events. Elena Rybakina was the only one to achieve this feat twice, winning
titles in Indian Wells and the Rome Open. The list of champions also included
Swiatek, Gauff, Sabalenka, Jessica Pegula, Petra Kvitova, and Barbora
Krejcikova.
Fans took
to social media to share their favorite moments of the year, with a special
focus on the Grand Slam finals and the WTA Finals:
