Swiatek’s Wimbledon Triumph Sets Stage for U.S. Open Domination

Iga Swiatek arrives at the U.S. Open as the form player to beat, riding high on her devastating Wimbledon victory where she demolished Amanda Anisimova 6-0 6-0 in the final. The Polish star’s recent Cincinnati triumph has further solidified her status as the tournament favorite.
ESPN’s Mary Joe Fernandez believes Swiatek has rediscovered her championship form at the perfect time. After more than 12 months without reaching a Grand Slam final, the six-time major winner’s return to dominance couldn’t be more timely as she seeks to challenge Sabalenka’s number one ranking.
Swiatek’s unique playing style, characterized by extreme grips and exceptional court movement, has proven particularly effective in her recent comeback. Her ability to maintain intensity and focus throughout matches has been the key factor in her resurgent form heading into New York.
The Polish champion’s confidence is evident as she seamlessly transitioned from Cincinnati victory to U.S. Open preparation, even participating in the mixed doubles event with Casper Ruud. This positive momentum and accumulated match experience could prove decisive in her quest for another Grand Slam title.
