So much for that Coco Gauff-Iga Swiatek showdown.
The No. 1 player in the world couldn’t hold up her end of the bargain. She, in fact, couldn’t come close.
“I knew she’s a great player and she’s very, very consistent, especially [the] last few years. I also knew she would have all the pressure because she’s obviously No. 1,” Ostapenko, the 2017 French Open champion, said after she improved to 4-0 in her career against Swiatek. “I think if she lost against me today she loses the No. 1 spot. I was just trying to make it hard for her and to play my game and to fight until the very last point.
