Iga Świątek preview
Polish No. one, Iga Świątek already had an amazing year with her second Grand Slam title. She was the youngest player to lift the Roland Garros trophy for the first time back in 2020, also she lifted it for the second time this year. The 21-year-old came through many ups and down while her advancing to her first U.S Open final. Even though Iga went through a smooth journey till the third round, she was challenged in the fourth round. Świątek could not grasp the game tactics of her opponent in the fourth round as she lost the first round.
However, she fought back unexpectedly well to put her down within an hour. It was a dramatic battle versus Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinal where she unintentionally again lost the first set. Ultimately, the World No. 1 and 2-times Grand Slam champion bounced back strong from one game down in the decider to reciprocal her opponents victorious.
Ons Jabeur Preview
On the other side of the court will be Ons Jabeur, playing her second consecutive major final. The African No. 1 lost only a single set through her magical journey to the final against Shelby Rogers in the third round. She unclogged a couple of tiebreaks in her successive matches, first against Kudermetova(18) and in the quarter-final versus Tomljanovic. Her mesmerising volleys and delusional backhands lead her out from the semi-finals against one of the strongest competitors, Carolina Garcia.
Her impressive first serve percentages, exquisite return of serve and fantastic forehand are the major keys to being in the finals. Even though Jabeur slipped many games against her rivals, she, however, equated them in every possible way.
