The individual final of the Paris Olympic Games will be quite surprising, as it will not feature the presence of the top favorite for the gold medal, Iga Swiatek. The elimination of the Polish player at her home court was a big surprise, with Qinwen Zheng and Donna Vekic now vying for the gold. Additionally, Aryna Sabalenka did not expect the world number 1 to be absent from the final: "I don't want to say anything bad about the players. Honestly, I certainly expected Iga to win the gold medal. It's Paris, it's her place. It's what I expected, but the girls are playing incredible tennis. I think the final is going to be very cool to watch. I'll watch it if I'm not playing my match. I'm sure it's going to be a great battle," said the Belarusian to the media at the WTA Washington.
