Jabeur embracing Swiatek rivalry after US Open final loss

Date:

Ons Jabeur’s groundbreaking career has been patiently paved by incremental progress. The Tunisian emphasized that after missing out on her first major title on Saturday. Despite a valiant comeback in the second set, Jabeur fell 6-2, 7-6(5) to World No.1 Iga Swiatek in the US Open final. “I struggled to win my first WTA title,” Jabeur told reporters after the loss. “It took me time. So I believe this will take me time. The most important thing is accepting it, learning from the finals that I lost. “But yeah, definitely I’m not someone that going to give up. I am sure I’m going to be in the final again. I will try my best to win it.”

Jabeur will rise to No.2 on Monday, sitting firmly behind Swiatek in both the WTA Rankings and Race to the WTA Finals leaderboard. It’s a well-earned position for the 28-year-old, who was playing in her second consecutive major final and has already taken home two titles this season. Only Swiatek (7) has played more finals than Jabeur (6) this season.

“To be honest with you, I have nothing to regret because I did everything possible,” she said. “I wish I served a little bit better today. It would have helped me a lot.

“You know Iga, how she plays in finals. It’s very tough to beat her. I will keep positive and work on the things that was missing today.”
