Świątek, Sabalenka, Garcia, Jabeur: Who will win the US Open?

After 10 thrilling days of action at Flushing Meadows, only four players remain in the US Open women’s draw.

Iga Świątek, Aryna Sabalenka, Caroline Garcia and Ons Jabeur are all in with a shot of winning the Grand Slam for the first time.

Her biggest scare came in the round of 16, where she came back from one set down to defeat Germany’s ​​Jule Niemeier 2-6, 6-4, 6-0.

Świątek has made it no secret that she struggles with the conditions at the US Open, but she has managed to battle through when up against it. Can she do the same again to clinch her third Grand Slam title?

But Sabalenka has shown no signs of this at the US Open, crediting biomechanics expert Gavin MacMillan with improving her serve. As such, the 24-year-old has appeared dominant and powerful, with the resilience to match.

With Świątek often struggling against “big hitters”,
