Just two months ago, Anisimova lost to Iga Swiatek 0-6, 0-6, in the Wimbledon final, suffering one of the most comprehensive defeats in tournament history. Bouncing back, Anisimova returned to Grand Slam action at the US Open, making a …

For a sport with no clock, time flies in tennis. Heading into Wimbledon, the word on Iga Świątek was that her career had passed its prime. She hadn’t won a tournament—much less a major—in over a year. And she arrived at the All England Club ranked No. 8, her lowest in years.  That was late June. Here we are in …

If the opening day had the air of an exhibition at certain times, the finals night immediately felt like business. From the start it brought the feel of a traditional US Open showpiece event, with a patriotic rendition of the national anthem and a group of US Marine Corps standing with an unfurled Stars and Stripes flag providing pomp. Many …

Some things are better left unsaid. Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek’s post-match interview took an awkward turn Sunday when the interviewer mentioned possibly spitting on her after beating Elena Rybakina in straight sets to reach the Cincinnati Open final. “Wait, [is that] rain?” Swiatek, 24, said as she looked up at the sky, pausing a question about facing Jasmine Paolini …

All the way from Cincinnati, Iga Świątek sent a message to the U.S. Open field Monday night — watch out. Świątek, one tournament removed from her stunning Wimbledon title, won the most important U.S. Open tuneup by beating Jasmine Paolini 7-5, 6-4 in the final of the Cincinnati Open. She is back to No. 2 in the rankings. She is …

Swiatek, the reigning Wimbledon champion, swept past Kazakhstan’s Rybakina 7-5 6-3 on Sunday …

Iga Swiatek took her game to new heights on grass in 2025, as she qualified for two finals on the surface. Having previously struggled away from the hard courts and her favored clay, Swiatek reached her first career final on grass at this year’s Bad Homburg Open, losing out to Jessica Pegula 4-6, 5-7. Carrying that momentum forward to Wimbledon, …

Sin-caraz here to stay The level of shot-making and athleticism produced by Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz as their fast-developing rivalry continued in the men’s singles final was a joy to behold. Except, perhaps, if you’re one of the guys trying to usurp them. The pair look set to maintain a stranglehold on the men’s game for the foreseeable future. …
