Iga Swiatek has moved a step closer to reclaiming the world number one spot with a straight-sets victory over Aryna Sabalenka in the WTA Finals.<\/p>\n

Swiatek, the world number two, claimed her 67th win of the year and her 10th win in a row in the 6-3 6-2 victory against the current number one Sabalenka on Sunday in Mexico.<\/p>\n

The match, which began on Saturday, was suspended after the fourth game due to wet weather which has featured consistently throughout the tournament.<\/p>\n

When it resumed on Sunday, Swiatek broke Sabalenka in the first game back and went on to take the win in just over 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really, really happy, I think that was the toughest and nicest match that I have played here,\u201d Swiatek said after the match.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old from Poland went unbroken throughout the match and won more than 75 per cent of her service points.<\/p>\n

She will meet world number five Jessica Pegula in the final on Monday for a chance to finish the year as the world number one.<\/p>\n

It only took an hour for Pegula to beat her doubles partner and fellow American Coco Gauff on Saturday in a 6-2 6-1 win to continue her exceptional tournament form.<\/p>\n

Both Pegula and four-time grand slam winner Swiatek have gone through the tournament undefeated with neither player dropping a single set.<\/p>\n
