Cementing her status as her sport's new dominant figure by winning what is expected to be the last tournament of Serena Williams' career, the No. 1-ranked Swiatek outplayed No. 5 Ons Jabeur on Saturday to claim her first championship at the U.S. Open.
Good as she's been this year, Iga Swiatek came to the U.S. Open unsure of what to expect.
Iga Swiatek, of Poland, reacts after scoring a point against Ons Jabeur, of Tunisia, during the women's singles final of the U.S. Open tennis championships, Saturday, Sept. 10, 2022, in New York.Swiatek's lopsided victory improved her record in tour-level matches to 55-7 with seven trophies in 2022, both best in the WTA.
Didn't help on this sunny, 85-degree Fahrenheit afternoon that Jabeur needed to deal with Swiatek, whose all-around excellence is only amplified when a trophy is available. Swiatek has won her past 10 finals — all in straight sets — and was great from the get-go Saturday. When Jabeur missed a slice forehand early in the second set, she dropped her racket to reflect her despair. A few points later, she flung her racket while off-balance and falling face down. A running, down-the-line backhand passing shot from Swiatek on the next point made it 2-0 in that set.
