Iga Swiatek won the women's singles match and then came back to team up with Jan Zielinski to win the missed doubles and power Poland to a memorable 2-1 victory against Norway in a Group B clash of the United Cup here on Monday.
It is a classic clash of the two distinct styles -- Rybakina, at 6-feet-0, hits the ball hard, with tempo and timing. Jabeur is shorter but is a magician with the racquet, routinely making unbelievable shots with power and precision.
After getting a good start on the clay court, the eighth seeded Barty never looked back, winning 6-1, 6-3 as she eased past her opponent on the big stage.
Amitabh Bachchan tweeted on Sunday night: "P.V. Sindhu, you played a fighting game despite ill health. Never mind. We are with you. One loss will strengthen you more. Proud of you,"
A shocking straight-sets loss for the defending champion and World No. 1.
