Iga Świątek has reflected on her first ever US Open win now that the dust has settled surrounding her historic win. The 21-year-old became the first Polish female in history to win the title at Flushing Meadows, which is now her third Grand Slam triumph.
In an interview with Vogue, Świątek discussed her winning mindset and credited the tournament conditions in New York. The world number one admitted expectations were rather high after she won her second French Open title earlier this year.
Her success at Roland-Garros was part of an impressive win streak which saw her claim six consecutive tournament titles all around the world.
Her first title of the year came in February when she won the Qatar Open. Świątek then became just the fourth woman in history to win the Sunshine Double — back-to-back Indian Wells and Miami Open finals.
