During the post-match interview after their opening round win, Ruud revealed, “I can’t lie. I was a little concerned! We both prepared each other if we were to do well in Cincinnati, that something might happen. We said that early when we planned. I think it’s her will in the end and she decided to show up here, which is wildly impressive because she got to bed 12 hours ago in her hotel in New York, and she is here. She was here stretching, doing her warm-up at 10 a.m. Yeah, just really, really proud of two days, both wins. Iga will have a good night’s sleep tonight. She deserves that. We’ll be ready for tomorrow.”

Weeks after winning the Wimbledon Championships in stunning fashion, Swiatek goes into the US Open on the back of some fine form after winning the Cincinnati Open title. Can she prevail in New York to make it back-to-back Grand Slam wins? Let us know your views in the comments below.
