Competition WTA with Indian Wells It officially starts on Wednesday, March 6. The previous two editions of this event were very successful for Iga Świątek. In 2022, the WTA ranked leader won the title, and then she was the best in Miami as well, thus winning the “Sunshine Double”. Last season, the Polish tennis player reached the final, where she had to accept the superiority of the subsequent winner – Jelena Rybakina.
WTA Indian Wells. Iga Świątek has been removed by the tournament director
These circumstances and the reality of it I will heal you She was victorious in Qatar and reached the semi-finals of the WTA tournament in Dubai, which theoretically allows the 22-year-old to be among the main favorites for a final victory on the US courts. However, he has a different opinion Tommy Haas – Tournament Director. – Although the world's number one racket, Iga Svetek, will be seeded No. 1, tournament director Haas believes so Aryna Sabalenka will be the favorite Indian Wells Championship – says Tennisuptodate, citing his statement.
Aryna Sabalenka plays tough, powerful tennis. He moves very well and is very comfortable in his game. Thanks to this, she defended her title at the Australian Open. Thanks to this, I give her an edge over the rest at the start, no matter what the coming weeks hold
~ Tommy Haas said
It may be surprising that he, as organizer, spoke so clearly, without even mentioning it Leader of the WTA rankings – Iga Świątek. – The disqualification of former champion Iga Świątek was particularly interesting – and the website “Tennis-infinity” publicly admitted this.
Of course, I always see Iga Świątek as the title contender. It is number one, but naturally this position will become increasingly difficult to maintain, as we have seen over the past year. But let's not forget her dominant streaks, like her 37-game winning streak in 2022, including during tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami.
~ Pam Shriver said, quoted from the official WTA website
However, Iga Świątek faces a very difficult task. Fate was not kind to the 22-year-old when arranging the championship ladder. Indeed, in the second round – from which the competition will begin – she will face Danielle Collins or a competitor from the qualifiers, and then she may face Linda Noskova. Yelena Rybakina and Jelena Ostapenko were also on the same side of the ladder as Iga Shvetek.
