Swiatek also won the French Open in 2020 but topped that by winning her maiden US Open crown at Flushing Meadows this season beating Ons Jabeur 6-2, 7-6 in the final. “Coming back from winning a Grand Slam is tricky, even if Roland Garros was the second [major title], I needed to stay composed and focus on the goals,” the Polish athlete said after winning her second Grand Slam title of the season.
“It’s challenging. New York is loud, it’s so crazy. There are so many temptations in the city, so many people I’ve met who are inspiring, I’m so proud of how I’ve handled it mentally.” Swiatek started her preparation for the Australian Open by playing at last week’s the World Tennis League exhibition event in Dubai.
