Iga Świątek (1st WTA) was doing great during the US Open. She eliminated Rebecca Peterson (86th WTA), Daria Saville (322nd WTA) and Kaja Juvan (145th WTA) respectively. In the fourth round, she faced Jelena Ostapenko (21st WTA). The Latvian has never lost to a Polish woman so far. And unfortunately, it was the same now. She defeated Świątek 3:6, 6:3, 6:1 and advanced to the quarterfinals.

After the meeting, Ostapenko attended a press conference. A funny thing happened during this. At one point, one of the Polish journalists wanted to ask the tennis player a question. “Sorry to be a little nervous, but you eliminated our champion,” he said first. Upon hearing this, Ostapenko laughed and apologized for defeating Świątek. This amused the crowd, who also responded with laughter.
Ostapenko defeated Świątek for the fourth time. After the match, she revealed why she plays so well against Poland. “I went out on the court and I knew I had to play my game and be aggressive because that’s tennis she really doesn’t like. I fought with her to the last point. She played very well, but in the first set I rushed too much and made a lot of mistakes. In the second and third sets, I started serving better,” she said.

The loss of Świątek means that the Polish woman will lose her position as the leader in the WTA ranking. Aryna Sabalenka (2nd WTA) will jump to the first place after the US Open. The Belarusian is still participating in this tournament, which means that she can further increase her advantage over her rival.
Ostapenko will face Coco Gauff (6th WTA) in the quarterfinals. The American previously defeated Caroline Wozniacki (623rd WTA).
