US Open – this is how the day went: Swiatek triumphed in New York

Saturday at the US Open in New York was all about the women’s final.

At Arthur Ashe Stadium, Iga Swiatek played against Ons Jabeur.

Jabeur fought for her first Grand Slam title. But Swiatek proved to be the better player and won a Major for the third time.

Jabeur could have been the first African to win a Grand Slam tournament. The Tunisian only lost in the final at Wimbledon.

INFO – Goodbye

I say goodbye to a not always high-class but intense finale. Jabeur risked a lot, but she didn’t always realize it, especially towards the end of the first and beginning of the second set. Swiatek was more stable over long stretches. Tomorrow at 10:00 p.m. the men’s final between Casper Ruud and Carlos Alcaraz begins. You can of course be there live at Eurosport 1, discovery+ and here in the live ticker. Goodbye!

The next break against Jabeur threatens. After a double fault, the Tunisian has two breakballs against her. Still, she can fend off both.

11:07pm Swiatek Jabeur 6-2, 3-0

It’s getting critical for Jabeur. With their own service it’s 30:30 and Swiatek is the one putting the pressure on. She finally forces the Tunisian to make a mistake via the forehand.

10:31pm Swiatek 3-1 Jabeur

10:23pm Swiatek 2-0 Jabeur

The match begins with serve Swiatek. The world number one initially dominated the rallies and put pressure on the baseline. With the backhand winner from the half field, she turns to win the game. And shortly thereafter, the Pole takes the service from the Tunisian in a hurry and leads 2-0.
