US Open 2022. Iga Swiatek wins his third Grand Slam by winning the final against Ons Jabeur
This US Open 2022 final will have kept all its promises! If Iga Swiatek easily won the first round against Ons Jabeur (6-2), this Saturday, September 10, the second round will have been much more contested.
Mentally stronger Swiatek
However, we could have expected a total victory for the Pole. In the second set, she found herself leading 3-0, 15-40 on the service of the Tunisian. But Jabeur, who appeared feverish at the start of the game, found the resources to equalize at 4-4. The two players then failed to decide on their service games, and it was not until the tie-break that world No. 1 made the difference (7-6 with 7-5 in the tie-break). A moment when the mind counted more than the physical, an area in which the Polish excelled.

Jabeur, she has a second defeat in a row in the Grand Slam final, after that at Wimbledon in July. The 28-year-old Tunisian is still chasing a first Grand Slam title, but can still be satisfied with her season, where she will have exploded in the eyes of the whole world.
