Iga Swiatek arrives at the US Open 2025 as the most in-form player of the moment. Setting aside her reaching the final in the mixed event, the Polish player clinched the title at the WTA 1000 Cincinnati after a week without dropping a set and shining once again on hard courts. She defeated Jasmine Paolini in a tight final but asserted her dominance from start to finish.

At the beginning of the season, Iga Swiatek's tennis faced a minor setback. She seemed a bit lost on the court, struggling to find her best form. However, true stars are characterized by their ability to bounce back from tough times, and the Polish player turned the situation around, becoming the Wimbledon champion for the first time in her career. In this US Open 2025, she will aim for her second crown at the New York Grand Slam and discussed her prospects in a press conference before the tournament.

- Cincinnati title and immediate appearance in New York

Less than 24 hours later, Iga Swiatek was ready to make her debut in the mixed doubles alongside Casper Ruud. They reached the final, where they were defeated by Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori, who retained their 2024 title: "These have been the most hectic days I've ever had due to competitions in my life. Everything happened very fast, and I'm happy to have performed well in the mixed doubles."

- 'Prize money' in the women's circuit

"Obviously, there is a significant difference in earnings between men and women in sports. Both male and female tennis players are among the highest-paid athletes. If we have reached this point in the women's circuit, it's thanks to individuals like Billie Jean King or Venus Williams. It's not just one person who has brought us here; changes require consistent efforts from various individuals. We are all working together to achieve our goals."

- Technical advances on hard courts

"I prepared well during the preseason and learned many new things in Australia. The season has been a bit more challenging from other perspectives, and I wasn't in a position to win tournaments. I returned to my true self after Roland Garros and applied everything I learned in the preseason at Wimbledon and Cincinnati. We will see what happens here in this tournament."

- Relationship with her coach

"I am a bit stubborn, and when I'm told to do something different from what I'm used to, I need proof that it works. I need to go out on the court and verify that it's going well, and if it does, I adopt that advice. Sometimes, it takes me a few trainings to understand it, and then I might complain or argue, but he's used to it and accepts me that way. Nevertheless, I think I learn fast, and everything he tells me makes sense, and if I don't understand, he explains it to me in a thousand different ways until it works."
