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.

Brad Gilbert caught criticism on social media after apparently engaging with Iga Swiatek's harasser on X. Over the weekend, Gilbert - who coached Coco Gauff for a year between 2023 and 2024 - appeared to question why the Cincinnati Open organizers were granting all of Swiatek's requests to have her matches scheduled early.

The American and the Briton denied three set points on serve in the sixth game and locked the result at 3-3. Pegula struggled on serve again in the eighth game and got broken at 15 after Casper's smash winner, with the European squad forcing a match tie break.

The forehand that grazed the sideline, the temple tap to her team, the sprint around the court. All of it pointed to a player in Iga Swiatek who is as composed as she is ruthless.

Iga Swiatek & Casper Ruud create magic both on and off the court at the US Open with highlight-reel plays and hilarious interviews.

Well, well, well. Look who’s back from the tennis wilderness. Iga Swiatek just reminded everyone why writing her off was about as smart as betting against a Polish powerhouse with a grudge.

Look no further than Iga Swiatek. Earlier this summer, the sky was falling for Swiatek. She failed to defend any of her clay court titles, sank in the WTA Rankings, and was fielding outlandish questions about possibly skipping the grass court season altogether (luckily, that did not happen).
