The 24-year-old from Poland who already owns six major titles — and needs only an Australian Open trophy to complete a career Grand Slam — has returned to her elite status, not to mention returned to No. 2 in the rankings, behind only Aryna Sabalenka and ahead of Coco Gauff.

Following her 7-5, 6-4 final win over Jasmine Paolini to earn her first Cincinnati Open title on Monday night, the world No. 2 took a private jet along with Carlos Alcaraz to New York to arrive in time for the U.S. Open mixed doubles tournament Tuesday.

Iga Swiatek has confirmed her participation in today’s US Open mixed doubles event despite a rapid turnaround from her victory at the Cincinnati Open on Monday night. The Polish star, who won Wimbledon last month, did not drop a set all week in Cincinnati and defeated Jasmine Paolini 7-5 6-4 to lay down a marker ahead of the US Open.

Recent U.S. Open champions Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff lead the women's field when singles play begins Sunday at Flushing Meadows.

Iga Swiatek arrives at the U.S. Open with her sights set on a seventh Grand Slam title and a potential return to world number one to cap what she calls a remarkable year of redemption following "the worst experience of my life".

Iga Świątek continued her stellar summer with another WTA 1000 title, defeating Jasmine Paolini in the Cincinnati final.

On Monday night, Iga Swiatek won the Cincinnati Open. On Tuesday, she played two U.S. Open doubles matches in New York City.

Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka has been No. 1 all season. But Swiatek, with her wins at Wimbledon and Cincinnati, is building momentum.
