At 21 years old, Swiatek will compete this Saturday for the third Grand Slam title of his careerafter winning the double crown at Roland Garros.

The Polish player, the first from his country to reach the final at Flushing Meadows, needed two hours and eleven minutes to topple Sabalenka, who stopped in the semifinals in New York for the second consecutive year.

Swiatek already has twenty victories in the ‘big’ this year and amasses 56 wins on the season, with a chance this Saturday to match Australian Ashleigh Barty’s 57 wins in 2019.

He had the merit of not losing confidence at any time, despite the fact that, especially in the first round, his serve was very fragile. This is something that already happened to her in the quarterfinals against American Jessica Pegula.

The Belarusian, who forced serve in the quarterfinals against Czech Karolina Pliskova, which she won without any break points, made three breaks and despite giving up her serve in the fourth game, she sentenced the quarter with a good volley for 6 -3.

Swiatek, who had lost only twelve games in the previous three meetings with Sabalenka, The reaction was strong and opened the second round with eight consecutive points to take a 2-0 lead.

He regained solidity on serve and held his first two at-bats to nil to open the way to 6-1 which broke the match open again and forced a decisive set.

Swiatek had the momentum in her favor at the moment, but in the third set she dropped her serve twice in the first three turns and despite recovering one of the two breaks, she was on the ropes against a Sabalenka who come to serve ahead 4 -3.

However, the Polish player did not flinch and played some great games against others, getting two breaks while only suffering one point.

He chained three consecutive games and a setback ended in the Sabalenka net He gave him a ticket for a new final of a ‘great’, after the one he won at Roland Garros.

It will be measured in Ons Jabeur, which bordered on a perfect match and imposed with authority on the French Caroline García 6-1 and 6-3.

The world number five reaffirmed the victories she won against Garcia at the 2019 United States Open and the 2020 Australian Open and will fight this Saturday for the first ‘big’ of her career, after she was denied by Kazakh Elena Rybakina of honor at Wimbledon.

History continued to be made by Jabeur, who became the first North African player to reach the final at Flushing Meadows.

Moreover, he will gain three positions in the ranking starting this Monday and He will go from fifth to second place.

She was strong when it came to converting her break balls, four out of four, and there she added 21 winners in the chain finals at Wimbledon and in New York, something that has not been recorded since 2019, along with American Serena Williams as the protagonist.

He did so after disarming a Garcia who came into this match as one of the fittest players of the momentas he showed just two days ago with a convincing victory over the American Coco Gauff.

She went on a thirteen-match winning streak, starting in the Cincinnati qualifying phase, where she took the title in the final against Czech Petra Kvitova, losing only four sets.

Jabeur extended his winning streak in the semifinals to six out of six this year and he only needed 66 minutes to seal the ticket for the final.

He had 27 breaks in this tournament and on Thursday he converted his three chances in the first set to win it 6-1 in less than half an hour.

He didn’t give it a chance to break and converted the lone break point of the second set in the fourth game to protect his pass to the final.

There is a balance of precedents between Swiatek and Jabeurincluding the Polish woman who beat her this year in the final in Rome and in Washington 2019, and the Tunisian woman who won Wimbledon and Cincinnati 2021.
