swiatek vence sabalenka em batalha de mais de 3 horas e conquista wta 1000 de madri

A polonesa Iga Swiatek conquistou o torneio de Madri ao vencer a bielorrussa Aryna Sabalenka em uma final que durou mais de três horas, em 4 de maio de 2024

A tenista número 1 do mundo, Iga Swiatek, conquistou o torneio WTA 1000 de Madri após uma batalha de mais de três horas contra a número 2 do mundo, a bielorrussa Aryna Sabalenka, a quem venceu por 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (9/7) neste sábado (4) na final.

Swiatek conseguiu se salvar em três match points que Sabalenka teve a seu favor: os dois primeiros com 6 a 5 em seu saque, e outro no game decisivo, com 7 pontos a 6.

A polonesa de 22 anos conseguiu vencer pela segunda vez após 3 horas e 11 minutos de jogo, após não conseguir aproveitar o primeiro match point quando vencia por 6 pontos a 5.

Swiatek se vingou assim da derrota sofrida há um ano, quando Sabalenka a venceu na final de Madri por 6-3, 3-6 e 6-3.

No primeiro lugar do ranking mundial pela 101ª semana, a tricampeã de Roland Garros conquistou o terceiro título do ano, o terceiro em um WTA 1000, depois de Doha e Miami.

As duas melhores jogadoras do mundo chegaram à final, assim como havia acontecido em 2023, seguindo caminhos bem diferentes.

Com exceção das quartas de final em três sets com duração de duas horas e meia (contra a brasileira Bia Haddad), Swiatek chegou à final com relativa facilidade: quatro partidas em dois sets, nas quais perdeu apenas 22 games e pouco mais de 1h15 no máximo na quadra.

Já Sabalenka foi a três sets em quatro de suas cinco partidas. Na semifinal contra a número 4 do mundo, Elena Rybakina, precisou lutar durante mais de duas horas e meia.

Antes de se reencontrarem em Roland Garros, Swiatek e Sabalenka devem disputar o WTA 1000 de Roma na próxima semana.
