Swiatek Dominates to Claim First Title of Year | Toronto News

Iga Swiatek storms back to form with her first WTA title of the year, crushing Elena Rybakina 6-2, 6-3 in a commanding final that had the crowd roaring. After missing finals all year and without a title since last fall’s Cincinnati Open, Swiatek turned things around at this Canadian event — winning four straight matches against top-20 opponents, the most she’s ever had in one tournament since her French Open triumph. Rybakina, despite her powerful game, struggled with unforced errors and missed key break points, possibly hampered by fatigue from a grueling schedule. Swiatek’s consistency returned in full force, making her the only player to reach a WTA 1000 final every season for six straight years. She walks away with over $1 million, while Rybakina takes home more than $500K — a statement win proving Swiatek is once again the dominant force on tour.
