Accessing that instance is clearly every player’s dream, but immediately, when that situation materializes, the often unattainable mission and goal is to find control of emotions, manage nerves, and stop the mind so that it doesn’t happen. go and do not escape an inch of the present. Precisely in order to maintain that level that was what allowed access to such a prestigious instance as the final of the United States Open.

For Iga Swiatek, playing a final is often synonymous with effectiveness, determination, regularity and perfection because in his record he has won 10 of the 11 plays and seven of the season; The situation of this Saturday’s grand final put on the other side of the Ons network Jabeur, who had just had a huge performance and experience at Wimbledon and who, although the dream of lifting the trophy in London was close, it was not enough . But that experience could also give her the opportunity to face the final with that integrity, that freshness and that vitality that characterize it. The story, however, seemed to indicate that the Pole would be heading towards a new title, but in a much simpler way than expected, than could have been foreseen in terms of numbers and history between the two.

A great start for Swiatek has found her regularly from the baseline, with that feeling that pushes her opponents to say definitely: “I have nowhere to hurt, I have nowhere to enter the game”. He didn’t show big cracks because many times the stability he found with the drive made it an extremely complex situation for Ons Jabeur.
