Overview

  • Swiatek defeated Italy’s Jasmine Paolini 7-5, 6-4 in 1 hour 49 minutes to claim her first Cincinnati crown.
  • Her rise to No. 2 makes her the second seed in New York, keeping a potential clash with Aryna Sabalenka off the draw until a possible final.
  • The title lifts her career haul to 24 singles trophies and leaves her second on the all-time WTA 1000 list behind Serena Williams.
  • She is the first player from Poland to win the Cincinnati singles event.
  • The win ends a 15-month WTA 1000 drought, strengthening her case as a leading US Open contender alongside Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff.
