Tennis: Iga Swiatek beaten, astonishing final in Dubai

Imperial since the start of the week, Iga Swiatek lost at the gates of the final this Friday at the WTA 1000 in Dubai against Anna Kalinskaya, 40th in the WTA ranking. The Pole, big favorite in the last four, which included Sorana Cirstea (22nd), Jasmine Paolini (26th) and Anna Kalinskaya (40th), was surprised in the semi-final by the surprising Anna Kalinskaya, already defeated by Coco Gauff ( 3rd) and Jelena Ostapenko (9th) in the two previous rounds.

The 25-year-old Russian, trailing 4-2 in the first set, reacted by winning the last four games of the first set (6-4), then the first two of the second (2-0). She even got a double break and led 5-2, 40-15 in the second set, before being caught (5-4). The 40th player in the world saved two break points in the final game and came out with courage to reach her first WTA 1000 final. She will face the Italian Jasmine Paolini, 26th in the WTA rankings and winner of Sorana Cirstea (6-2, 7-6[6]) earlier in the day.
