NEW YORK : Poland's world number one Iga Swiatek will look to underline her claim as tennis' fiercest champion when she faces off against Tunisian Wimbledon finalist Ons Jabeur in Saturday's final at the U.S. Open.
The clay specialist showed she could be lethal on hard courts, too, with wins at Indian Wells and Miami, and despite a pair of early exits in Toronto and Cincinnati looks perfectly in-form at Flushing Meadows and ready to add another title to her stellar season. "I'm pretty happy that on this tournament I just was kind of fresh actual mentally to actually use the chances."
A crowd favourite for her creative playing style, she rolls into her second straight Grand Slam championship match brimming with confidence, with lessons learned from her heartbreaking loss at the All England Club to Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina.
