Pole Swiatek lifts first US Open title

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek eased past Tunisian Ons Jabeur 6-2,
7-6(5) to grab her first US Open title and second Grand Slam
victory of 2022 here on Saturday, Trend reports citing Xinhua.

The 21-year-old Pole spent just one hour and 51 minutes to beat
the No. 5 seed to bring her third overall Grand Slam crown
home.

Swiatek was off to a 3-0 lead before Jabeur hit five clean
winners to pull back two games. Swiatek kept her dominating style,
breaking Jabeur twice more to win the first set.

The second set opened much alike the first with Swiatek taking
the first three games and Jabeur pulling two back before it was
dragged into tiebreak where the Pole won on her first match point
on Jabeur’s forehand unforced error.
