Krejcikova - the only one who knows how to beat Swiatek?
Listen now
Description
Another week, another title for Ig... Barbora Krejcikova?? The former World No.2 is coming back from an elbow injury, but seems to have found all the great shots and on-court intelligence that led her to a Roland Garros title back in 2021 - and the key to defeating Iga Swiatek in finals. On top of that, she achieved a major feat in defeating the nos 1, 2, and 3 in the world en route to the title, coming back from a bagel in the first set against Aryna Sabalenka, and a tough battle against Jessica Pegula, to earn her first WTA 1000 title in Dubai. Interesting stuff ahead if she stays healthy... On other news, Andy Murray seems to have found a special level in 2023. still having to earn all his wins in epic deciding sets, but the level he's found in Doha was quite special - including the epic, insane, roller coaster win over Jiri Lehecka from match points down. Special mention for FĂ©lix Auger-Aliassime, who has put up an immense fight against the unfavorable match-up against Daniil Medvedev, who went on to win the title, his second in a row. And the Norrie Alcaraz rivalry catches fire! After losing to Carlitos in Buenos Aires the week prior, Cameron Norrie didn't let the disappointment hit him and he claimed the Rio de Janeiro title in three great sets of tennis. Although Carlos Alcaraz was suffering from an injury, now confirmed to be a hamstring strain, he still produced some of the shots of the year. Just insane talent. Good wins for Hubert Hurkacz and Camila Giorgi, coming back from tough periods with tough losses (and Giorgi literally won her title as we recorded lol) Thanks for listening!
