Swatek won 20 consecutive victories： female tennis players shouted ＂help＂, but men couldn’t beat them.

Swatek is unstoppable now.

In Stuttgart, the world’s number one Ijia Swatek played on the tour for the first time as the number one seed.

The 20-year-old Polish teenager swept Ava Liss, a local qualifier, 6-1 in the first round, and won the clay court season with 20 consecutive singles victories, easily advancing to the quarterfinals.

Since winning the French Open women’s singles title in 2020, Swatek, born in 2001, has been honed last season, and this season has soared with staggering results. After Buddy’s sudden retirement, the teenager who was temporarily ranked first in the world did not have stage fright, and won three WTA1000-level championships in Doha, Indian Wells and Miami in succession.

"Who will help us!" Seeing the fiery touch of this "peer", Jessica Pegula, the winner of the top four Australian Open in 2021, couldn’t help shouting on social networking sites.

Miomil Kecmanovic, a male player who is participating in the Belgrade Open, also lamented, "I may not be able to beat her now.".

As a "recruit" in the tour, Swatek has won the French Open, but she only had the opportunity to participate in many competitions in the last two years, and the WTA500 Stuttgart Open is one of them.

In the face of local wild card player Lise, she quickly entered the state in the first set, and established a 5-0 lead with two consecutive breaks.

Although the German girl solved the inventory in the sixth game to complete the first service guarantee of this game, the top seed easily won her own service, 6-1 first to the next city.

In the second set, the Polish girl continued the good state of the first set and sealed the victory with 6-1.

"Hi, Stuttgart! The feeling of returning to the clay court is really great. I will see you on Friday! "

After the game, she posted a photo of herself walking out of the stadium with a bag on her back on social networks, and also posted a video on the Tour official website to talk about her feelings of participating in the first competition.

"Hello, everyone, I’m really happy to be here for the first time. Next, I will take part in the quarter-finals contest. I hope you can come and cheer for us, because the atmosphere here is really great.

With this victory, Swatek, who has accumulated 19 consecutive victories this season, has raised this number to "2 prefix"-She became the youngest female player to win 20 games and "20+" games since the 21st century, and joined venus williams and serena williams, both of whom were 20 years old when they won 20 consecutive games in a single season.

In 2000, Venus won 35 consecutive games in a single season, including Wimbledon and the US Open, which were the first two Grand Slam singles champions in her career. In the meantime, she also won the women’s singles gold medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.

Serena’s record came from 2002. She won 21 consecutive victories in a single season, including beating her sister in the French Open and Wimbledon finals back to back and winning the second and third Grand Slam singles titles in her career.

In the 21st century, due to the continuous improvement of women’s tennis competition, only Venus and Serena (34 consecutive victories in 2013) have ever won a "30+" winning streak in a single season, and together they have won a "20+" winning streak for six times.

In addition, lindsay davenport won 24 consecutive victories in 2004, Clijsters won 22 consecutive victories in 2005, Haining won 25 consecutive victories in 2007 and Zarenka won 26 consecutive victories in 2012.

If Swatek can continue to win in Stuttgart, she will have a chance to get close to her predecessors and even catch up with their records.

Girl swatek.

Peer shouted: Who can help us?

When Swatek "killed the quartet" in the women’s tour, the men’s professional tennis players also noticed the fiery state of Polish girls.

When asked "who is the most challenging among all past and present female players", Kecmanovic, who is attending the Belgrade Open in her native country, laughed."I think what Swatek is doing is very remarkable. Now it seems that she is simply unbeatable. If I were you, I would probably lose to her, I think. "

The Serbian does not want a "gender war", but expresses his appreciation and affirmation.

Indeed, Swatek, who entered the 2022 season, has amazed countless people by winning 20 consecutive games from Doha to "Sunshine Doubles", to billie jean Jinbei and Stuttgart.

What is even more amazing is that she has won 26 sets in a row in these 20 games. The last time she lost a set was in the fourth round of Indian Wells Station, she reversed three-time Grand Slam champion korbel with scores of 4-6, 6-2 and 6-3.

In this 26-set winning streak, Polish girls scored seven 6-0 and six 6-1 scores, which was simply a "breakfast combination" for everyone. Moreover, in this process, she only allowed her opponent to win more than five games in a single set twice: 7-6, 6-4 against Halep in the semi-final of Indian Wells; 6-2, 7-5 against Jessica Pegula in Miami semi-final.

Before switching from the hard court season in North America to the clay court season in Europe, Courtney Ruan, a contributor to WTA Insider, sent an animation of Zhang Xinke’s number one in the world, reminding everyone that when Swatek "is going back to the clay court now", Pegula’s first reaction is:"help us all!"

Needless to say, everyone knows that Swatek is good at clay courts-She is the champion of the French Open in 2020, and her idol is Nadal, the 13th champion of the French Open. Last year, she gave Pliskova, the former world number one, two 6-0 in the final of the Rome Open.

Send out two "doughnuts" and beat your opponent.

The score of "6-0" is always impressive, and it is even more "horrible" when it appears in pairs.

Last year, Ka Pliskova received two "doughnuts" from Swatek without mercy (one game won’t win), and this year it’s the turn of Romanian girl Andrea PriSakari.

Stuttgart is Swatek’s first clay court tour this season, but in fact she won two consecutive victories on clay court last week.

On April 17th, Beijing time, she led Poland to sweep Romania 3-0, passed the 2022 billie jean Gold Cup World Group Qualifier, and played against Kazakhstan, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Canada, the United States, Belgium, Switzerland, Australia, Slovakia and a team to be determined from November 8th to 13th.

Before the start of the seven qualifying matches of the World Group, Poland attracted much attention because it had the world’s first Swatek.

The 20-year-old also lived up to expectations, winning both singles against Romania, defeating Mihaela Buzanescu 6-1, 6-0 and sweeping Puli Sakari 6-0, 6-0 respectively.

Swatek took the world’s first trophy to shoot a photo.

These two games brought the total number of "doughnuts" sent by Swatek in the 2021-2022 season to 18th-including four by Ka Pliskova and Puli Sakari Wu.

"There is not much transition time from hard ground to red soil this year, and I may need more patience to adapt. However, now I am more confident than in the past. I feel that I have grown up and all aspects of the game have improved. "

When it comes to site change and their own state, the Polish girl said:"The winning streak on the WTA Tour gave me great confidence, and now I can put more pressure on my opponents. I will continue to work hard for this new position and hope to stay here for a while. "

At the same time, although the match was "bloodbath" by two 0-6, her opponent Puli Sakari Wu was not immersed in the mood of losing, but went to the net to shake hands with Swatek and sincerely congratulated the Polish girl.

"There is no doubt that you are the best player in the world now. I am proud of you, and I am really happy to see that tennis can reach the present level. "
