Swiatek produced a stellar performance at the Cincinnati Open and advanced to the finals, locking horns with Jasmine Paolini. She solidified her legacy in the sport by claiming the title after registering a 7-5, 6-4 win over the Italian. This marked the Pole's first-ever Cincinnati Open title and this year's second WTA title after the Wimbledon Championships.

However, the former World No. 1 doesn't have much time to celebrate her victory, as she is now all set to compete at the mixed doubles tournament of the US Open with her partner Casper Ruud. The latter is also eager to commence the upcoming hard-court swing's journey, as he recently sent a message to the Pole under her latest Instagram post about her victory.

In a post-match interview with the Tennis Channel, she opened up about playing in consecutive tournaments and said that she needed to reset and focus again to compete at the US Open.

"It (Cincinnati Open title) means a lot, but honestly I'm kind of used to having both scenarios because I had some great tournaments before Roland Garros for example, or before Australia, but then you know, you kind of need to reset and focus on another one anyway, like, you start from the beginning," Iga Swiatek said.

She added:

'It's a long tournament, a Grand Slam, so, for sure you need to use that confidence and the experience you get from the previous one, but I don't know how the (US Open) surface is."

Talking about the tight schedule, she further added:

"You need to kind of adjust from the beginning anyway. So, I'm excited to go today and play tomorrow. The schedule is tight. Hopefully I'm going to make it to the flight."

With her Cincinnati Open win, Iga Swiatek will now enter the US Open as world No. 2, overtaking Coco Gauff, who is now ranked third.
