General NewsIga SwiatekSportsTennisU.S. Open Tennis Championships Iga Swiatek’s Defense of Her US Open Title Concludes with Fourth-Round Defeat to Jelena Ostapenko by Sophia Chen September 4, 2023 written by Sophia Chen September 4, 2023 0 comment Bookmark 15 Iga Swiatek’s effort to defend her U.S. Open championship concluded in disappointment as she suffered a defeat at the hands of Jelena Ostapenko, with the match ending 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 on Sunday evening. The defeat signifies the conclusion of Swiatek’s reign at the top of the WTA rankings. She will be displaced by current No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka, who will ascend to the No. 1 position for the first time in her career, starting next week. Throughout the match in Arthur Ashe Stadium, Swiatek struggled with her accuracy and had difficulty countering the aggressive play from Ostapenko, the 20th seed and 2017 French Open champion. The outcome of the match was not entirely unexpected given their historical head-to-head encounters. Ostapenko has now extended her winning record against Swiatek to 4-0, a unique achievement as no other player has registered four victories against Swiatek since she took over as the WTA’s top-ranked player in April 2022. Ostapenko is set to face Coco Gauff in her inaugural quarterfinal appearance at Flushing Meadows. Gauff, the 19-year-old American talent, had earlier ousted Caroline Wozniacki with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 victory on the same day.
