    What's the story

    World number one Iga Swiatek won the 2022 US Open after beating Ons Jabeur in the women's singles final.

    The 21-year-old won 6-2, 7-6(5) to clinch the third Grand Slam of her career.

    Swiatek won her second successive major title after winning the French Open.

    She is the first player since Angelique Kerber (2016) to win two Grand Slams in a single year.

    Records

    As per Opta, Swiatek is the seventh woman (Open Era) to win her first three major finals after Virginia Wade, Monica Seles, Lindsay Davenport, Jennifer Capriati, Naomi Osaka, and Ashleigh Barty.

    Swiatek won the French Open in 2020 and 2021 besides winning the US Open.

    She is the second woman (Open Era) to win her first six sets in major finals after Lindsay Davenport.
