Iga Świątek’s Career First: Back-to-Back Losses After Leading at WTA Finals

World No. 2 Iga Świątek exited the WTA Finals in Riyadh with an unwanted first: consecutive defeats after winning the opening set. After falling to Elena Rybakina, she lost 7-6(3), 4-6, 2-6 to Amanda Anisimova to finish group play. It’s also her first two-match skid since 2021 and a second straight group-stage exit in Riyadh. Both after leads.
