Iga Świątek Exits WTA Finals After Shock Defeat
Iga Świątek of Poland was eliminated from the WTA Finals in Saudi Arabia, suffering a defeat of 7-6, 4-6, 2-6 to American Amanda Anisimova. The 2023 champion had hoped to win her second WTA Finals title, but she exited the tournament in the group stage after losing two of her first three matches. The defeat was an unexpected end to a successful season, when Świątek won her first grass court title at Wimbledon. Ironically, she defeated Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in that very final. After the match, Świątek said of the loss, "Such a loss just hurts ... I did what I could and I put everything in."
