The forehand that grazed the sideline, the temple tap to her team, the sprint around the court. All of it pointed to a player in Iga Swiatek who is as composed as she is ruthless.

All the way from Cincinnati, Iga Świątek sent a message to the U.S. Open field Monday night — watch out. Świątek, one tournament removed from her stunning Wimbledon title, won the most important U.S.

Iga Swiatek secured her first Cincinnati Open title by defeating Jasmine Paolini, making history as the first Polish player to win a singles title at the event. This win marks her 24th tour-level title and solidifies her path to the US Open as a top contender.
