Mats Wilander believes Iga Swiatek’s Grand Slam winning experience will help her “tremendously” against Ons Jabeur in the US Open final.

Swiatek has played in two Grand Slam finals, both at the French Open, winning at Roland Garros in 2020 and 2022. Ad Meanwhile, Jabeur played in her maiden Grand Slam final at Wimbledon in July, losing to Elena Rybakina, but will have another opportunity to make history on Saturday.

US Open‘A beautiful match-up for the final’ – McEnroe previews Swiatek v Jabeur2 MINUTES AGO “I think Iga’s experience winning a Grand Slam final is going to help tremendously,” said Wilander. “I think that she obviously goes in to win every match, but I think she's probably as nervous as Ons because she knows what's on the other side — meaning if I win the Slam, I feel it's so good for my confidence and it's so good for everything in my tennis life. “That can make her more nervous, but at the same time, it’s also a safety net winning the two French Open finals.

Now she has reached the US Open, her year is one of the great years that she will most probably ever have. “With Ons, a loss in the final at Wimbledon, there’s that kind of like, ‘oh, I'm digging myself a bit of a hole in the ground that I need to climb out of’.
