Iga Swiatek makes her ‘most extreme schedule’ look easy at US Open with mixed doubles dominance
Following her 7-5, 6-4 final win over Jasmine Paolini to earn her first Cincinnati Open title on Monday night, the world No. 2 took a private jet along with Carlos Alcaraz to New York to arrive in time for the U.S. Open mixed doubles tournament Tuesday.
Iga Swiatek shrugged off lingering weariness to partner Casper Ruud to back-to-back victories in the revamped mixed doubles competition at the US Open on Tuesday.
Playing in the Fast Four scoring format, Ruud and Swiatek made quick work of their Tuesday double-header. After knocking out all-American pair Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe, 4-1, 4-2, they beat Caty McNally and Lorenzo Musetti by the same score, booking themselves a spot in Wednesday night’s mixed doubles championship evening.
Sinner retired with apparent illness in the first set of Monday's Cincinnati Open final against Alcaraz after digging a 5-0 deficit. Sinner remained on the court for the trophy ceremony and addressed his condition while speaking with the crowd. He didn't offer specifics, but said that he "didn't feel great."
By beating Rybakina and making the Cincinnati title match, Swiatek improved to 6,753 ranking points in 2025 - the only player with more points is Aryna Sabalenka, who stands at 7,610. After the Pole, Coco Gauff comes at third spot with 4,944 points and the American is the next in line to secure a Riyadh ticket.
