The future of women s tennis burns so brightly - Billie Jean King Martina Navratilova and tennis world praise Iga Swiatek and Ons Jabeur for high-octane US Open final

By Shyam Kamal Modified 11 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Iga Swiatek and Ons Jabeur played a US Open final for the ages at the 2022 edition of the event Iga Swiatek and Ons Jabeur played a US Open final to remember on Saturday, treating fans at Arthur Ashe Stadium to shots of the highest quality for almost two hours before finally crowning a new champion. In the end, it was the World No. 1 who lifted the trophy in the 2022 edition, beating Jabeur 6-2, 7-6(5) in straight sets. The scoreline, as one-sided as it appears, was not a good reflection of the match as a whole, as the Tunisian scored points of exquisite elegance in the first set despite coming up well short. Jabeur's level improved even more in the second set, where she came back from an early break to take the Pole to a tiebreaker -- the first time anyone has achieved that against Swiatek in her last 10 finals. In the end, it was the World No. 5's aggression that spelled her doom, with unforced errors coming at the big moments of the game eventually costing Jabeur her maiden Major title. With the victory, Swiatek wrote her name in the record books, becoming the first ever Pole to win the title at Flushing Meadows. She also became the first player since Serena Williams to win the US Open title as the top seed, a feat the American achieved in 2014. Along with the millions of fans who flocked to social media to lavish praise on the deserving finalists, Swiatek and Jabeur's colleagues also bestowed their congratulations on the pair. "Congratulations to Iga Swiatek, the first Polish woman to win the US Open. And cheers to Ons Jabeur on an incredible battle. The future of women’s tennis burns so brightly," Billie Jean King tweeted. Billie Jean King@BillieJeanKingCongratulations to @iga_swiatek, the first Polish woman to win the #USOpen!

I really needed to stay composed and focus on the goals and for sure this tournament was really challenging - Iga Swiatek

Iga Swiatek at the 2022 US Open Speaking at her on-court interview after the win, Iga Swiatek revealed that she herself was surprised with her performance at the 2022 US Open, noting that she had a very challenging time after her title run at the French Open earlier this year. With a poor display in the lead-up to the New York Major as well, the World No. 1 was glad she navigated the tournament in a composed manner despite the odds being stacked against her at the beginning. "I don't know [how I was able to perform] honestly, I'm just not expecting a lot. Especially before this tournament. It was such a challenging time you know, coming back after winning a Grand Slam it's always tricky even though Roland Garros was the second one," Swiatek said. "I really needed to stay composed and focus on the goals and for sure this tournament was really challenging." Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Anirudh × Feedback Thank You!
