Iga wasn't playing her best and for most of the match Alexandrova was the better player. However in the key moments Iga showed why she is one of the top tennis players in the world.

To me Ekaterina Alexandrova is a player who can beat anyone. She is a very difficult opponent and I think most players don't want to face her because she has a very unpredictable game. In my opinion she should have been in the top 10 a long time ago but she needs to start playing better in Grand Slams.
 
Iga should hit 30 titles next season. Very likely she passes Wozniacki’s number of titles in 2026/2027 and then probably Sharapova’s 36 too within the next 3 years.
 
Drova was better player but Swiatek played important points better. After first set I thought Swiatek has just a bad day and it's done deal for Drova but things turned out different :)
She is ranked #11, so she will have better draws in GS now.

Unlikely Keys defend her AO title the next year, so I think Alexandrova will reach the top 10 at the end of January
