With her win over Jasmine Paolini, Iga Swiatek has now racked up 11 WTA 1000 titles putting her second on the list since 2009, with only Serena Williams ahead of her. Serena Williams has racked up 13 titles at this level since 2009, the year the WTA first introduced the Premier Mandatory tier that later became known as WTA 1000 events.

The No. 3 seed hit eight aces and at least that many service winners to defeat Jasmine Paolini. MASON, OH—“I’m always this kind of player who needs to see the proof,” Iga Swiatek said last week, when she was in the middle of her Cincinnati Open campaign. “If the serves are actually going to go in, I’ll be convinced.”

Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek boarded the same private jet to head to New York after their respective title triumphs at the 2025 Cincinnati Open.

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.

Coco Gauff revealed that she does not feel a significant amount of pressure heading into the U.S. Open since she's already won a Grand Slam title in 2025 at Roland Garros.
