"Unquestionably the best women's player on the planet and it ain't close" - Tennis fans in awe of Iga Swiatek continuing brilliant 2022 season with San Diego title

Iga Swiatek added yet another title to her 2022 season, defeating Donna Vekic in the final of the San Diego Open in three sets to lift the WTA 500 title on Sunday. Battling cold and illness over the past week, the World No. 1 overcame a minor dip in the second set to take home her eighth title of the year with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-0 scoreline.With 64 wins to her name so far, the three-time Grand Slam champion now has eight times as many wins as she has losses this season, cementing the fact that she has been the best player on the WTA Tour over the last 12 months without a doubt.Tennis fans on social media were ecstatic with the Pole's dominance, bestowing all kinds of fitting superlatives on the 21-year-old. One fan was of the opinion that Iga Swiatek was the best female player on the planet by far, commenting:&quot;Iga Swiatek just won't stop winning.

The other five spots in the competition, however, are up for grabs, making the Guadalajara event one to look forward to this week for others in the running.Swiatek made her debut at the Year-end Championships last year, where she lost out in the round robin stage. Although the Pole defeated eventual runner-up Paula Badosa in straight sets, she was overpowered by Aryna Sabalenka and Maria Sakkari.Interestingly, Badosa, Sabalenka and Sakkari are all yet to qualify for the 2022 edition of the tournament, but are in a good position to secure their berths with a decent showing in Mexico.
