We have a new ladies singles US Open champion and it is Swiatek the world number 1. The number 1 seed managed to come through a tough opponent in Jabeur ,who will become the new world number 2 after the US Open, in straight sets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swiatek came out all guns blazing while Jabeur came out a little passive and a little nervous as her footwork was not up to her high standards. This allowed Swiatek the perfect start as she lead 3-0 before Jabeur managed to hit back out of nowhere really to make it on serve at 3-2. Swiatek kept calm and broke Jabeur to restore her lead and then she managed to win the following 2 games to take the opening set 6-2. The way she was playing it looked like it could be a quick final and the 2nd set began the exact same way as the first set. Swiatek raced to a 3-0 lead and the Jabeur made it 3-2. It continued to go the same as Swiatek once again broke to keep her lead and she made it 4-2. However the similarities stopped there as Jabeur broke in a game which went to deuce and then won her serve which made it 4-4 and level once again. Jabeur was starting to find some rythym and managed to conjure up 2 break points which she sadly couldn’t take. She was given a third break point which she once again made an unforced error on and in the end it was Swiatek who came out of the game and led 5-4. Jabeur was now serving to stay in the final and she impressively managed to hold from 15-30 down. Swiatek then held comfortably to make it 6-5. Jabeur then had to save a championship point at 5-6 but came through the game to force a tiebreak. Swiatek took the first mini break to lead at the change of ends 4-2. Jabeur then won 3 points in a row to make it 5-4 to Jabeur. Swiatek however played the next 3 points well to beat Jabeur and win her 3rd grand slam title at just 21 years of age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onto the fantasy leaderboard and it’s ‘Drop Shots’ who keep their 4 point lead over ‘My Dream Team’ in 2nd. ‘Eish’ drops back in 3rd place and is now 11 points off the lead. ‘Hit and Run’ make a late move into 4th place and ‘Simply Smashing’ are now sitting in 5th place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
