US Open 2022: Iga Swiatek vs. Ons Jabeur Tennis Pick and Prediction

TennisSection previews the 2022 US Open as Iga Swiatek takes on Ons Jabeur in the final on Sunday, September 11th, 2022.

Will Iga Swiatek claim a 3rd major title? Will Ons Jabeur win her first ever major? This will be a fascinating one, where we have the no. 1 and no. 2 in the live rankings fighting for the championship. Who will triumph and become the champion at the 2022 US Open?

Iga Swiatek took down Sabalenka in 3 sets, dropping the 1st set and coming from a break down in the 3rd. If the World No. 1 wants to win this one, she’ll need to fight real, real hard, considering her level hasn’t been all that high this tournament, while her opponent has been dispatching top notch players left and right. Let’s see if Swiatek is able to regroup and find a way to win the 2022 US Open.

Ons Jabeur is seeking a fast grand slam title as she faces Iga Swiatek, if she wants to win this one, she’ll have to keep up her excellent level of play, which I’m sure she’ll be able to bring on Saturday. She plays a really solid, compact game, and I expect her to play some high level tennis. I think even despite Swiateks results lately, Jabeur’s level has been higher, so I expect her to make some noise and claim the 2022 US Open title for herself.

Iga Swiatek and Ons Jabeur have met four times before, with the head to head being tied at 2-2. Their most recent meeting came in the Rome final, with Swiatek winning quite easily, but their previous 3 matches were quite contested, and the fact that that match was on clay and when Swiatek was in the form of her life are factors here. So I expect Jabeur to really bring it in the final, and while Swiatek may dig it out as she is the world’s best, I think Jabeur might just have this one.
