Iga Swiatek became US Open champion with a 6-2, 7-6 victory against Ons Jabeur to add the title at Flushing Meadows to the one she won in Paris.

In the end, Swiatek was more composed in the tiebreak and after leading 5-4 on her serve, Jabeur gave up errors under pressure to finally let go. She forced her 28-year-old opponent to play at her limit and do so consistently, and the Tunisian began to spray errors as she tried to force her best level from herself. It was instantly clear this was a different level to anything she had produced earlier in the tournament. Swiatek attacked with her destructive weapons from both wings and all parts of the court. Swiatek twice recovered from a set down and trailed 4-2 against Aryna Sabalenka in the deciding set of her semi-final. Iga Swiatek and Ons Jabeur entered Arthur Ashe Stadium as the two best players in the world, the ones who have outperformed the rest of the field this year.

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek Becomes First Polish Woman To Win U.S. ... (Forbes)

Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Even before the U.S. Open women's final began, Ons Jabeur sensed she was in trouble against world No.

With Jabeur serving at 5-6, 30-all, she sailed a forehand long, bringing Swiatek to match point. And I feel like I have more skills to do that than one type of way to play. “The work we've put with Daria for sure helped,” she said. 1 in the world, and she played like a No. 1 and being in this tournament, so it's hard for me to say. In the first set, Swiatek jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead, winning eight of the first nine points. Jabeur had a chance to break for 5-4 when fans yelled out on several points. She then took a 5-2 lead when Jabeur swatted a forehand volley long on game point. She did so in impressive fashion, winning eight of the first nine points against Jabeur en route to a 6-2, 7-6(5) victory that made her the first Polish woman ever to win the U.S. 2 in the world on Monday, but Swiatek still has more than double Jabeur’s points. Swiatek will take home $2.6 million with the trophy (”I’m pretty glad it’s not in cash”) while Jabeur earned $1.3 million. 1 seed to reach the women’s final since

Iga Swiatek wins her first U.S. Open, cementing herself as a new top ... (NPR)

The top-ranked Swiatek has won seven titles in 2022, the most by a woman since Serena Williams in 2014.

But Swiatek took the last three points and soon was down on her back, a major champ again. Then, at 6-5 in the set, Swiatek held her first championship point as Jabeur served. When Jabeur missed a slice forehand early in the second set, she dropped her racket to reflect her despair. She ran her opponent this way and that, never letting Jabeur use the sorts of spins and variety that she's accustomed to. But she is 0-2 at that stage, being the runner-up at Wimbledon in July. And she arrived with a record of just 4-4 since her 37-match winning streak ended in July.

Iga Swiatek Downs Ons Jabeur to Win U.S. Open Women's Singles ... (The New York Times)

Swiatek, the world No. 1, beat Jabeur in straight sets to capture her first U.S. Open singles title. It is her third Grand Slam title and first on a surface ...

Jabeur was sending her back and forth across the baseline and held chances to break Swiatek’s serve in the next game and serve for the second set. Ahead of Saturday, she spoke of the lessons she had learned from that match and how she now knew ways to keep her emotions in check. Swiatek is so different, though, from the fragile player who won her first Grand Slam title as a teenager. She tried to match Swiatek’s power from the baseline. When she is on, she can mix jumping backhand drop shots with a dangerous forehand and a deceptively hard serve that she can land in the corners with nasty movement. She has spoken out against the Russian invasion of Ukraine more than any player who is not from Ukraine and has helped raise more than $2 million for relief efforts through her participation in tennis exhibitions, one of which she organized herself. In March, Ashleigh Barty of Australia, a three-time Grand Slam singles champion and the world No. She has won so many 6-0 sets this year — a “bagel” in tennis parlance — that the saying “Iga’s bakery” was coined. For Swiatek, the victory was the latest success in a season full of them. Open, where she was the first Polish woman to make the singles final. It was the third Grand Slam title of Swiatek’s brief career and her first on a surface other than clay. And now she is the first Polish woman to win three and the U.S.

Iga Swiatek sacrée championne du US Open - TVA Sports (TVA Sports)

La Polonaise Iga Swiatek a remporté les Internationaux des États-Unis samedi en défaisant la Tunisienne Ons Jabeur en deux manches de 6-2 et 7-6.

Mais en championne qu'elle est devenue, il ne lui a pas fallu beaucoup de temps pour reprendre sa voie royale. A 21 ans, la Polonaise ajoute à sa collection un troisième titre du Grand Chelem, après ses deux sacres à Roland-Garros en 2020 et en juin cette année. A New York, la N.1 mondiale a démontré qu'elle n'était pas qu'une joueuse de terre battue.

À 28 ans, elle était la première joueuse à avoir enchaîné les finales à Wimbledon et Flushing Meadows depuis Serena Williams en 2019. La Polonaise s’est procuré une première balle de match à 6-5, puis une seconde à 6 points à 5 dans le tie break qu’elle a cette fois converti en bénéficiant d’une faute directe de Jabeur, la 33e et dernière de la partie.

“For sure, Roland Garros I always feel like I have more control, and I feel like Philippe Chatrier is kind of my place,” she said of the center court in Paris. 1 when she announced that she was retiring from the game in March at age 25. Jabeur has Bartyesque versatility but lacks the Australian’s formidable serve and cannot generate quite the same forceful topspin with her forehand or wicked side-spin when she hits her backhand with one hand. She also has been bold and outspoken on social-justice issues and her own mental-health challenges, positioning herself as one of the voices of an engaged generation. With three majors, she is now closing in on Naomi Osaka, the Japanese star and former No. And the last woman to win seven or more singles titles in a season was Williams in 2014. Handed the $2.6 million champion’s check on Saturday, she said, “I’m really glad it’s not in cash.” Of her seven titles this season, three have come on her long-favored red clay, but four have come on hardcourts like those used at the U.S. 44, and yet she remains by far the most globally prominent young women’s tennis star: the highest-earning female athlete, capable of launching her own management company with her agent Stuart Duguid and signing up other players such as Nick Kyrgios. 1 with a huge lead in the rankings over Jabeur, the engaging and gifted Tunisian who will be back at No. Open, I was delighted to return to a city that is on its way back, as ever, after hard times. 1 with a package of tennis skills both innate and acquired.

Throughout the tournament, Swiatek had said she was improving but hadn’t hit her peak. Jabeur, the first African woman to reach the U.S. Swiatek, 21, was relentless on her returns in the early going, keeping everything in play and hitting the ball deep enough to limit Jabeur’s chances to unleash her trademark creativity.

Iga Swiatek, a model of efficiency, beats Ons Jabeur for U.S. Open title (The Washington Post)

The top-seeded Pole wins her second Grand Slam title of the year, handling Ons Jabeur in straight sets.

She finally found a foothold by attacking Swiatek’s serve in the second set and forced a tiebreaker but never could quite flip the momentum. Swiatek entered the match with a formidable nine wins in the 10 finals she has made since 2019. She prefers the slower surfaces of clay-court season in spring and had trouble controlling the type of balls the U.S. She was also the first woman to reach the French Open and U.S. Swiatek was the first top seed to reach the U.S. Open where the surface is so fast,” Swiatek said. It’s also like a confirmation for me that sky is the limit. She and Jabeur will be the world No. She only needed to step outside after the match to see a swarm of red- and white-clad Polish fans chanting and cheering for her in the center of Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. She is the first Polish woman to win the U.S. She battled back for victories twice after dropping the first set, in the fourth round and semifinals. Asked afterward in the on-court ceremony what that might signify, Swiatek looked up to the smattering of Polish flags in the crowd before laughing and responding that she didn’t quite know — she would have to go home and check first.
