Jelena Ostapenko continues her dominance over the WTA Tour’s most dominant player with a 3-6 6-3 6-1 victory over defending champion Iga Swiatek in the fourth round of the US Open. Not only has the Latvian now become the first player who has defeated the Pole four times, but she also ends her 75-week streak at the top of the rankings.
In their first meeting since Swiatek’s rise to No.1 in early April last year, Ostapenko recorded a victory over a top-ranked player for the first time since 2017.
