Marketa Vondrousova is making her WTA Finals debut, but due to the tournament’s last-minute organization, the experience is way worse than she imagined it would be. After losing her Chetumal Group opener to Iga Swiatek, the reigning Wimbledon champion voiced her frustration with the facilities in Cancun.
Seventh-seeded Vondrousova secured a 5-2 lead, with Swiatek accounting for 13 of the match’s initial 16 unforced errors. The momentum shifted thereafter, with Vondrousova faltering twice while serving for the set, ultimately conceding it to Swiatek at 7-6(3), before succumbing in the second set at 6-0.
