Iga Swiatek once again proved to be a dominant force in 2023, but her reign was seriously challenged and will be challenged again in 2024. 2022 was a spectacular year for Iga Swiatek who played amazing tennis all year long. 2023 was, in many ways, a more impressive year because she overcame quite a few…

Sofia Kenin has been looking really solid in Abu Dhabi this week and she added yet another win on Saturday over Sorana Cirstea. Cirstea was in a pretty tricky position before this match because her team lost both of the first two matches of the tie. The team kind of fell apart with two players…
