Swiatek Eyes U.S. Open Glory | Pro Tennis News

Iga Swiatek is back at the U.S. Open aiming for another deep run after her 2022 title, and she’s already cruising past Xiyu Wang in round one. Now, she faces a gritty Nadia Podoroska — who stunned Simona Waltert in her first match this year — in a second-round clash where Swiatek is the overwhelming favorite. With an 80% win rate at Flushing Meadows and a dominant 6-2, 6-1 victory over Podoroska at the 2022 French Open, Swiatek’s path looks clear. But don’t sleep on the Argentinean, who’s making her first-ever U.S. Open second-round appearance after five first-round exits. The match airs Thursday morning on ESPN3 — expect Swiatek to cruise, but Podoroska could make it interesting. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
