At the beginning of the year, Iga Swiatek was in the form of her life, winning 37 straight matches, the most of anyone this century. However, after her shock defeat to Alize Cornet at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, things have not looked up for the Pole. She was defeated in the quarter-final of the Poland Open by Caroline Garcia. After that, she took part in the Canadian Open and Cincinnati Masters but crashed out of both in the round of 16. The world no. 1 will be hoping for a turn of fortunes at the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year.
Swiatek will face Italy’s Jasmine Paolini in the first round of the 2022 US Open. Paolini was in decent form a month ago as she reached the semi-final stage of both the Palermo Open and the Poland Open. However, the Italian’s game has fallen in standard since. Her last tournament was the Granby Championships where she was eliminated in the round of 16. Before that, Paolini lost in the qualifiers of the Cincinnati Masters.
Iga Swiatek and Jasmine Paolini are scheduled to face each other on Monday, August 30 at 8:30 pm IST in the first round of the 2022 US Open. The fourth and final Grand Slam is set to begin on August 29 and go on until September 11 this year.
