Iga Swiatek has been not been at her world-beating best in the months leading up to the U.S. Open but the Pole has both the talent and mentality to lift her game for the final Grand Slam of the year, tennis great Chris Evert said.The world number one captured her fourth French Open title in June but has since been upset in the third round of Wimbledon, settled for bronze at the Paris Games and thrashed by rival Aryna Sabalenka in Cincinnati on Sunday.

But the 23-year-old, known for her pinpoint serving, speedy defence and perfectionist approach to the game, will arrive at Flushing Meadows with a well thought-out plan on how to get back to the winners' circle, 18-times Grand Slam champion Evert said. "Iga's very disciplined, very organised, very serious about her game and very mature," former world number one Evert, now a tennis analyst for ESPN, told reporters. "I see that she's going to be all business." The tight team around Swiatek know when to push her and when to let her rest as they prepare for yet another change of surface, this time from the Parisian clay to the hard courts of New York, she added."She has a whole week ahead of her now to rest.

I think she'll be fine," said Evert. "When I say I think she'll be fine, I think she'll be fine in the second week, fine into the semi-finals or whatever.

I can't say who is going to win with any kind of conviction at this point." Swiatek took top spot in the world rankings following the surprising retirement of Australia's Ash Barty in early 2022 and quickly proved she belonged there, going on a 37-match winning streak and gunning her way to the U.S.
