Iga Swiatek overcomes a first set deficit to defeat Marketa Vondrousova in her first match of the group stage at the WTA Finals in Cancun.
- Iga Swiatek erased a 5-2 first set deficit and ultimately rolled to a 7-6 6-0 win over Marketa Vondrousova in the Pole's first match of the group stage of the season-ending WTA Finals in Cancun on Monday.
Vondrousova served for the set a second time at 5-4 but Swiatek broke again with a precise backhand winner up the line for 5-5 as she began to take control of the match, constructing points from the baseline and cutting down on her errors. Although she defended her title at the French Open for her fourth Grand Slam title, 2023 has been something of a disappointment for Swiatek, who did not get past the quarters of any of the other majors and lost her world number one ranking.
