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.

AceOfBase10-11-2024 - Zheng v Gauff the best final we could get. Both were and remain in top form the last few weeks. Queenwen even the whole year almost. If she finds her aces she's a contender. If not, Gauff's gonna take it.MrAndreeva08-11-2024

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
