World number one Iga Swiatek won against Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur on Saturday in the US Open final, earning her third Grand Slam title at the same time.
This is the third major title of his career. World number one Iga Swiatek won her first tennis US Open on Saturday September 10, beating Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur (5th) 6-2, 7-6 (7/5) in New York.
The 21-year-old Polish, winner of Roland-Garros in 2020 and in June this year, is accentuating her dominance this season on the women’s circuit, which has notably seen her win 37 victories and six titles in a row in the first half.
“I’m super proud of myself because it wasn’t an easy game. Even though I dominated the start of the game, I knew it would be close and I knew Ons would take advantage of every mistake I made,” she said after her victory.
In addition to the title, the young woman won the huge check of 2.6 million dollars. However, the tournament organizers had another reward for her, hiding a piece of tiramisu – one of her favorite pastries – inside the trophy.
“I really appreciate it. Especially since I had nothing to eat,” said the one who became the first Polish woman to win the tournament.
