Arthur ash stadium

Former World No: Former World No.1 Iga Swiatek maintained her 100% record in the first round matches in the US Open, winning her seventh successive opening round clash as she launched her campaign for her Grand Slam title No.7 on Tuesday.

In an early match at a sun-kissed Arthur Ash Stadium, the 2022 winner maintained her recent form as she breezed past world No. 84 Emiliana Arango, 6-1, 6-2, on Tuesday.

Swiatek, who had snapped a 13-month title drought in July by capturing her first Wimbledon title and backed that up by lifting the Cincinnati trophy for the first time two weeks ago, is hoping to become the first WTA star to win the Wimbledon and US Open titles in the same calendar year since Serena Williams in 2012.
