US Open - Iga Swiatek battles past Ons Jabeur to clinch third Grand Slam title in style at Flushing Meadows

Iga Swiatek clinched her third Grand Slam title and first at the US Open after she battled past Ons Jabeur in the final, 6-2 7-6(5), at Flushing Meadows. The 21-year-old, who already has two triumphs at Roland-Garros to her name, took her remarkable season to yet another level with another hugely impressive major win on the biggest stage.

Ad Swiatek, who rose to the world No. 1 ranking earlier in the year and won her second French Open title, again demonstrated why she is very much the dominant force in women's tennis.

A packed crowd inside Arthur Ashe Stadium was treated to Swiatek's unique brand of clinical and creative tennis as she pulled away from Jabeur swiftly and decisively to take the opening set.

The hugely popular Jabeur was simply unable to get any momentum from the back of the court as she attempted almost everything in vain with Swiatek always having the answers. The second set followed a similar pattern initially as the dominant Swiatek leapt into a commanding lead again early on with a break of serve.

She was so ruthless the crowd implored Jabeur to find a way back into the match, to little immediate effect.
