Swiatek destroys Pegula 6:1; 6:0 to win WTA Finals

Four-time Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek won the title at the WTA Final in Cancun.

In the final, the Pole beat Jessica Pegula (USA) 6:1, 6:0 in about an hour on the court. This will see her return to the top of the world rankings and finish the year as No. 1 for the second season in a row.

After crashing out in the fourth round of the US Open, where she relinquished her No. 1 ranking, the Pole won titles in Beijing and Cancun and is on a 12-match winning streak in 13 matches, including 11 in a row.
