In the final of the WTA 1000 tournament on hard courts in Cincinnati Iga Świątek will face Jasmine Paolini. This will be the second-ever raisin match against an Italian player in a WTA event match and a sixth confrontation in general.
The Italian tennis player hasn't been fortunate with Iga Christmas so far. Raszynika triumphed in all erstwhile meetings. She besides won in the final confrontation – 2 months ago she defeated Paolini in a semi-final tournament match in Bad Homburg.
Polka, presently 3rd in the planet ranking, will play for the first time in Cincinnati for the title. Italian, eighth in the WTA ranking, besides made it to the final of this event for the first time. Christmas on the way to the finals did not lose a set, and Paolini lost only one, to the Kudermite Veronica.
If Christmas wins, he wins his 24th career title and is promoted to 2nd place in the ranking. Paolini, in case of victory, will enter the top seven. The final will be held at midnight from Monday to Tuesday Polish time.
