The winner takes it all, Abba might’ve sung of a love story gone wrong, but the words lend equally to sporting contests, where one and only one leaves with the silverware that counts.
And Swiatek it was again, for the second time on a major stage in 2022. Swiatek, who added the US Open crown to her two Roland Garros titles with a 6-2, 7-6 (5) scoreline, has made a habit of winning when it’s down to the last two standing.
The only final the 21-year-old has lost in her career is her first one, in Lugano, back in 2019, when she was 17 years of age.
Since then, she has won ten title-round matches — 20 consecutive sets — and only two of those were at events below a WTA 1000 or Grand Slam level.
