One of them was in Rome, where she routed Jabeur 6-2, 6-2. A victory would make her the first player since Serena Williams in 2014 to win seven titles in a season. The native of Poland is the first No. 1 seed to reach the final in Flushing Meadows since Williams did it that year. The fifth-seeded Jabeur made her first major final appearance at Wimbledon and now tries again to become the first African woman to win a Grand Slam title in the professional era. The Tunisian has dropped just one set in the tournament.

Nervy hold for Jabeur.
Swiatek survives.
The tables have turned this set. Swiatek saved three break points. Jabeur is neutralising the Pole with some solid shotmaking of her own. Swiatek had to dig very deep here, and now Jabeur will serve to stay in it.
The twists and turns are endless.
Jabeur breaks back. She needed that to get back into it. The duo are producing really high-quality returning performances here.
Swiatek breaks back immediately.
Incredible tennis. She wins the longer baseline exchanges, gets big depth on her groundstrokes, and crunches a couple of huge backhands. So, so good.
Jabeur breaks back!
Clutch play at it's best. Did not need a second chance to get back in it. Needed that to have a chance to get back in it.
Jabeur holds on!
Nervy from the Tunisian, but she saves three break points to pull through.
Swiatek breaks! And she's fired up.
She feels totally dejected, dropping her racquet to the floor after a failed drop shot went short at the net. An unforced error from her on game point derailed her too. She needs to lock in to come back here.
Swiatek picks up where she left off from. Needs some big groundstrokes to save a break point and plenty of initiative from Jabeur from the baseline.

Swiatek wins the first set!
The baseline aggression is working wonders for Swiatek. Jabeur has pulled out some winners herself, but she has had no answers for Swiatek's power.
Jabeur breaks back!
One for the highlight reel. A big forehand urges Swiatek to come to the net, and they exchange a few acrobatic volleys before she puts it away.
A few massive winners from the baseline later, the Tunisian has the break. Will need more of that to cope with Swiatek's power.
The winners are flowing through Swiatek's racquet. And she's painting the lines, but it's do or die, the errors could begin to leak. Jabeur needed big serves to get through.
Swiatek breaks!
Her power is looking hard to control at the moment. Vintage Swiatek.
Despite missing a drive-by volley, big serves help Swiatek serve it out. Jabeur's backhand is firing.
The 2022 US Open women's final kicks off. The best players of the year in the last Major match of the year. Who comes out on top?
Iga Swiatek vying for her second Grand Slam of the year. Ons Jabeur vying for the first of her career. Action coming up soon.
It has been a long time since the final of a women’s Grand Slam was contested by the two best players in the world. The last time two top-5 seeds played the final of a Major was at Wimbledon 2016, and two top-10 players have only played for the title three times since then. So, it’s fitting that the sense of occasion could be heightened by a tactical battle.
Arthur Ashe is ready to witness history tonight.
