US Open 2022: Iga Swiatek wins her 10th straight title in straight sets and more stats

New York: Iga Swiatek won her first US Open and third Grand Slam title, beating Ons Jabeur 6-2, 7-6 (5) in New York on Saturday.

The top-ranked Swiatek added this title to her two French Open victories, in 2020 and 2022. She has won seven titles in 2022, the most by a woman since Serena Williams in 2014.

Jabeur rallied after poor starts in both sets, trailing 0-3 in each, but fell short in a Grand Slam final for the second straight time.

The Tunisian player had also finished runner-up at Wimbledon to Elena Rybakina.

Here’s a look at Swiatek’s win and Jabeur’s loss in numbers:

# Swiatek has won her last 10 titles in straight sets. The last defeat came in 2019 at Lugano which was her first career final. She’s won 17 of her 18 career finals

# To add to the jaw-dropping stat, the most games she’s conceded in this period were the six she lost to Jabeur in the second set

# Swiatek is the first woman from Poland to win the US Open title in the Open Era

The #USOpen is Iga Swiatek's 7th title of her remarkable 2022 campaign - Doha, Indian Wells, Miami, Stuttgart, Rome, Roland Garros, US Open.
