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.

The revamped US Open mixed doubles started yesterday at Flushing Meadows, with 16 pairs vieing for a chance to claim the title and $1 million winning cheque.

Brad Gilbert caught criticism on social media after apparently engaging with Iga Swiatek's harasser on X. Over the weekend, Gilbert - who coached Coco Gauff for a year between 2023 and 2024 - appeared to question why the Cincinnati Open organizers were granting all of Swiatek's requests to have her matches scheduled early.

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.

Iga Swiatek is in New York chasing for the revamped US Open mixed doubles she is playing alongside Casper Ruud. She played the first match of this tournament a day after clinching her second title of the season.

By beating Rybakina and making the Cincinnati title match, Swiatek improved to 6,753 ranking points in 2025 - the only player with more points is Aryna Sabalenka, who stands at 7,610. After the Pole, Coco Gauff comes at third spot with 4,944 points and the American is the next in line to secure a Riyadh ticket.
