Ons Jabeur will take on top seed Iga Swiatek in US Open final

Ons Jabeur destroyed Caroline Garcia in straight sets to set up an US Open final against top seed Iga Swiatek.

The Tunisian ran out a comfortable 6-1, 6-3 winner to end the Frenchwoman's hot streak in the semi-finals and will now face the challenge of upsetting the world No 1 at Flushing Meadows.

Two-time French Open champion Swiatek came from behind to defeat sixth-seed Sabalenka 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 at Arthur Ashe Stadium in her last-four clash.

Jabeur will be playing in her second successive Grand Slam final, after losing to Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina at Wimbledon in July, despite winning the first set at the All England Club.

And 28-year-old Jabeur, the fifth seed, believes she will be a far more confident player as she looks to win her first Slam.

“Just going to that [Wimbledon] final was really tough for me, especially the second set,” said Jabeur, the first Arab and African woman to reach the final in New York in the Open Era.

“But then I feel like this final, I'm going full in, I'm going for everything. "[It] Feels more real, to be honest with you, just to be in the finals again,” she told reporters.

“I'm just happy the fact that I backed up the results in Wimbledon and people are not really surprised I'm in the finals, but just going and going and just doing my thing.”

She faces the tall task of taking down Swiatek on Saturday, after the Pole survived a tough battle against Belarusian Sabalenka.

Swiatek, 21, beat Jabeur in their most recent meeting, the Rome final in May, amid an extraordinary 37-match winning streak in which she collected her second Roland-Garros title.
