Iga Swiatek defeated Ons Jabeur for the 28th time in a row to defend the Italian Open title and earn her fifth title in a row.
Iga Swiatek won the title in Rome for the second year in a row. Last year, she thrashed Pliskova 6-0 6-0, and while it's been a little more competitive this year, the winner was never in question. Despite trailing Jabeur 1-2 in the head-to-head encounter, the Polish player appeared significantly superior for the majority of the game.
It was a clear indication of how much better she is now than everyone else. Jabeur had won 11 straight matches prior to this one, but she was unable to compete today. In an hour and 23 minutes, the young Pole triumphed comfortably 6-2, 6-2.
Swiatek jumped out to a 3-0 lead and coasted from there. She added another break to finish the first set with a score of 6-2. The second set was a little more competitive, with Jabeur displaying some brilliance at times. Swiatek reacted in kind every time she raised her game, demonstrating that she is technically at a better level. She had an answer for everything in the end, finishing with a score of 6-2.
