Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek's post match interview took an awkward turn when the interviewer mentioned possibly spitting on her after beating Elena Rybakina in straight sets to reach the Cincinnati Open final on Monday night.

Playing in the Fast Four scoring format, Ruud and Swiatek made quick work of their Tuesday double-header. After knocking out all-American pair Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe, 4-1, 4-2, they beat Caty McNally and Lorenzo Musetti by the same score, booking themselves a spot in Wednesday night’s mixed doubles championship evening.

Look no further than Iga Swiatek. Earlier this summer, the sky was falling for Swiatek. She failed to defend any of her clay court titles, sank in the WTA Rankings, and was fielding outlandish questions about possibly skipping the grass court season altogether (luckily, that did not happen).

Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz underlined their hard court credentials ahead of the US Open with victories over Jasmine Paolini and Jannik Sinner respectively in the women's and men's singles tournaments at the Cincinnati Open.

Iga Swiatek has been "in bully mode" since Wimbledon, says Drew Dinsick, and he views her as the "short shot" over Aryna Sabalenka with a favorable outright price to win the US Open outright.

Well, well, well. Look who’s back from the tennis wilderness. Iga Swiatek just reminded everyone why writing her off was about as smart as betting against a Polish powerhouse with a grudge.

Iga Swiatek has once again caught the shutterbugs' attention by winning the Cincinnati Open. She outclassed Jasmine Paolini in straight sets in the final, 7-5, 6-4. After a tough start to the season, Swiatek has finally come to the party on tour.
