Swiatek first player to reach nine finals in a single season since Serena Williams in 2013

Iga Swiatek will contest the 9th final this year later today and she became the first one to do that since Williams in 2013.
The Polish player has had an incredible season, one of the best in recent years and the many achievements speak loudly about that. She won several trophies including two grand slam trophies (Roland Garros, US Open).
She also won the Sunshine double earlier this year cruising easily in both Miami and Indian Wells. She also won over 30 matches in a row and later today she will contest the San Diego Open. It will be her 9th final of the year and that's the first time a player has played in 9 finals in one season.
The first time since Serena Williams did it in 2013. The legendary player played in 13 finals that year and won 11 trophies. That seems unreachable for Swiatek but even this is an incredible achievement.
