Another day at the office. Entering a tennis court and lifting the winning trophy is for Every Swiatek in this 2022 something totally normal, a routine we could even say. But this does not diminish the ambition and the ability of this tennis player to want more and become the player to beat for all in this new direction that the women’s circuit has taken after the withdrawal of players like Serena Williams or Ashleigh Barty. She doesn’t care about her rivals, whether she plays on clay or hard court. Swiatek is a beast and she submits her rivals with a patience very unbecoming of players of this caliber, making all her rivals completely unhinged. Today in what a priori seemed like a very even final, the number one in the world already showed that she was not going to be like that, and with a score of 6-2 and 7-6 (5) she became champion of the US Open 2022.
Since February, Iga Swiatek has lost four: Alizé Cornet, Caroline Garcia, Beatriz Haddad Maia and Madison Keys. Despite this, the Polish player has recognized on numerous occasions that these defeats have only served to improve and give her best in the next match. The challenge of winning the four Grand Slams is there. She has already won at Roland Garros and now the US Open. The goal is getting closer every day. Will she make it? Time will tell.
The success shown by Ons Jabeur so far in the tournament turned into heavy legs, lack of ideas and desperation for not knowing how to destroy Swiatek’s good tennis level. The Tunisian did not believe in victory at any time, being the victim of a spectacular start by the number one in the world. In a seesaw, Swiatek made it 3-0, and only some relaxation on his part allowed Jabeur to break. It was nothing more than a mirage. The Tunisian had to sweat a lot to try to move forward with her games on serve, in a totally unbalanced set, against a Swiatek who seemed to be playing at half throttle, dosing her efforts for a possible long game.
Ons Jabeur fought to the end
In the second moto, Ons Jabeur let loose a bit more. Perhaps more out of desperation than out of the hope of being able to pull off an epic comeback. On certain occasions he was seen outside the match and wanted, at least, that the public could witness a somewhat more even match. He increased his intensity a bit and hit some decision-making that gave him some morale, but not enough to be able to overcome an immeasurable Swiatek, who once again demonstrated the reason why she is the player to beat for all in The circuit.
