Iga Swiatek vs Ons Jabeur.
Two of the best players in the world in the final Grand Slam final of the year.
But she can’t give up gritty Świątek, who is now heading to her first US Open final and looking to replicate her from earlier in the season the French Open title.
The final with Jabir was a great matchup, as tennis fans could hope for, except for Serena Williams s running in her final game. But considering the level of the two players who have made it to the final this season, Saturday’s matchup is absolutely brilliant.
