Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek win 2022 Italian Open

In a controversial season for Novak Djokovic of Belgrade, Serbia, he is a champion during the 2022 calendar year for the first time. On Sunday, Djokovic defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece, 6-0, 7-6 in the final of the 2022 Italian Open.

Djokovic broke Tsitsipas four times, and had six aces compared to only one for Tsitsipas. This was a rematch of the 2021 French Open final, which Djokovic won in five gruelling sets, 6-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. In fact the match on Sunday between Djokovic and Tsitsipas was the first match between the two since the 2021 French Open.

This was the second clay court final for Tsitsipas in 2022. On April 17, Tsitsipas won the Monte Carlo Masters by beating Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain in the final, 6-3, 7-6.



Meanwhile on the women’s side, world number one Iga Swiatek of Poland continued her fabulous 2022 tennis season. She defeated ninth seed Ons Jabeur of Tunisia, 6-2, 6-2 in the final of the Italian Open. With the win, Swiatek has now won four of the five WTA 1000 series events, as she previously won the Qatar Open, the Indian Wells Masters, and the Miami Masters.

Jabeur meanwhile was red hot herself heading into the Italian Open. She had beaten Jessica Pegula of the United States in the Madrid Open final, 7-5, 0-6, 6-2. However the fact that Jabeur only won four games in total against Swiatek, shows just how dominant the world number one is at the moment.

Now Swiatek will have her focus on the French Open, a major she won two years ago. In the 2020 final, she defeated Sofia Kenin of the United States 6-4, 6-1.
