I'm so happy for Iga and Polish people!!

[@RickeGnool]

She didn't play her best for long periods of time during this tournament. To be able to win anyway is the mark of a great champion.

[@pomerlain8924]

She knows how to utilize her B, C, D, E, etc game to get the win. And that's a lost art for most of the WTA, especially with big hitters. If Plan A isn't working, they don't know how to change it up. Anybody can look unstoppable when every shot is going in. But not everybody can win when most of their shots aren't landing in.

[@analuciabarros9847]

Indeed she hasn’t been playing her best tennis for a while, but she has being able to cope with the situation pretty well. Really a sign of a great champion

This year is something else! That crazy winning streak from February till July, winning sunshine double (a rare feat on it's own especially in women's tour, let alone winnnig it bagelling and breadsticking everyone along the way and not dropping a single set in both finals...) and that coming after Doha as a champion, followed by victories in Stuttgart, Rome and finally wrapped up by Roland Garros on clay and now Us Open title as well on top of that! More than twice the difference in general rankings from 2nd ranked Jabeur (10365 points against 5090!) as well as more than double of the difference in Race to year-end number one (9560 against Jabeur's 4496!), which basically guarantees she will stay on top of the sammit until at very least Australian Open of next year, maybe even longer than that! Sky is truly the limit! Not to mention, that she can even add more to that difference by playing autumn tournaments!

[@marekwojtowicz3005]

Indian Wells was very gutsy despite occasional bakery. Three straight matches down a set. She’s resilient and not panicking even if she feels like she might lose. It’s great that she’s matured to accept the fact that winning doesn’t last forever. After poor summer NY was anything but a guarantee. In the long run not being a favorite has certain advantages. It’s scary to imagine her play even better.

[@viksinha5410]

After her first French open win she dropped off a little and I was starting to think she would be a one-slam wonder. Glad I was so wrong. Now hopefully there will be other players to challenge her.

[@mrnowak2835]

She literally won a wta 500 and Rome, months after her win in Rolland garros. All the other one slam wonders couldn’t even do that excluding ostapneko but still.

[@olexiss5109]

This tournament was an emotional rollercoaster for every Iga fan. It truly marks a great champion to overcome all of the difficulties along the way and win the title in superb fashion. She's such an inspiration on and off the court. Love you Iga!!!

[@trwent]

Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz are exactly what tennis needed: A couple of new young compelling stars, poised to take the mantle from the Williamses, the Bartys, the Federers, the Nadals, and the Djokovics, and with the ability and temperament to become two of the all-time greats of the game.

[@MrBlef666]

BRAVO US OPEN! I got an impression Iga is not much appreciated in US by media etc. Hope you can bring some HYPE there. GO IGA!

[@Zenigundam]

The sportsbooks demonstrate how much respect they have for Iga. She was favored at every major this year and will be favored at every major next year (but with long shot favorite odds at Wimbledon). This is what complete dominance of a sport by one player looks like.

[@DoctorStrange01]

I wish she can win at least one Wimbledon title in her career.

[@blue_red_screen]

No complete dominance would be her winning Wimbledon as well

[@tennissir1986]

Complete dominance is not be favored to win all slams next year - it’s winning an Australian open and Wimbledon in addition to F.O. and US Open.

[@zarkadiusz123]

Thanks to Iga, lady's tennis enters the next level, where not only technique counts, but also the ability to control emotions and a large dose of precision combined with great strength.

[@tonykiriakidis5219]

As I said before. Iga goals. Get 4 and 5 majors to pass Osaka. Then go get Henin and Venus at 7. If she figures out grass then I see 10 majors for sure. She could own Paris. She already won here in NY and Australian open is hard court so she can get that also. Let her find out Wimbledon again at the senior level . I want her to take over the majors . Great start at 21 with 3 already!

[@loop1972]

Wspaniałe zwycięstwo. Cieszy tym bardziej, że widownia była przeciwko Idze za wyjątkiem Polonii, przypomnijcie sobie zachowania w stosunku do Radwańskiej. Oczywiście po meczu uśmiechy, zachwyty i uściski, totalna amerykańska obłuda. Na szczęcie niedługo mecze w Europie, zejdziemy z tego „top of the world” i będzie normalnie.

[@vojtasjedyny]

Nie powiedziałbym, że ogromna większość była przeciwko Idze, ale istotnie Ons zdobyła poparcie bardzo dużej części publiczności. To normalne, że tenisistka, która przegrywa, jest szczególnie dopingowana - kibice chcą przecież show, zaciętego meczu, a nie jednostronnego widowiska. Bilety blisko kortu kosztowały kilka tysięcy $ za jedno miejsce. Wyobraź sobie, jacy byliby wściekli, gdyby Iga zamknęła mecz w godzinkę. Ja bym był. ;) Tak czy inaczej myślę, że byli ukontentowani przebiegiem finału. Iga jeszcze w tym roku wróci do USA na WTA Finals w Fort Worth, w Teksasie. Generalnie jej tournee po Stanach można uznać za niezwykle udane (Sunshine Double + USO).

[@loop1972]

@@vojtasjedyny W moim przekonaniu od początku meczu było jasne jaki jest stosunek publiczności do Igi. Poza tym amerykańskie media wyraźnie ją pomijały a jak już wspominały, to bez entuzjazmu. Iga wyraźnie im nie pasuje, ale to nie ma znaczenia, ważne, że wygrała a mecze w USA, to tylko część jej występów.

[@zarkadiusz123]

@@loop1972 Nie zgadzam się z tym stwierdzeniem, które jest trochę na wyrost. Oglądałem przedmeczowe komentarze sprawozdawców, fachowców od tenisa takich jak Matz Vilander i nie zauważyłem jakiejś podejrzanej niechęci w stosunku do Igi a wręcz odwrotnie.

[@loop1972]

@@zarkadiusz123 Napisałem o publiczności, mediach i ogólnym wrażeniu a nie o pojedynczych ekspertach. Iga nie jest popularna w USA i zapewne nie będzie. Dlaczego? Niech każdy sam znajdzie odpowiedź. Zresztą, to nie ma wielkiego znaczenia, ludzie za „wielką wodą” żyją w swoim matriksie i wydaje im się, że są pępkiem świata i każdy podziwia ich „wielkość”. Tymczasem życie toczy się dalej.

[@Marcin.Majewski]

great player !!

[@cola7up43]

Anyone who has been watching tennis knows that Iga is a tennis prodigy. Actually, she should have more than 3 Slams under her belt. She for sure had last year's French Open trophy on her racket. Instead, she was out there wasting her time with a 3 hour doubles match and was exhausted. That is why she lost in the singles. Her coach should have been fired for that. Even when Iga loses, she cannot even make it look right. She constantly commit a lot of rare unforced errors or do not go after the ball. Her only weakness is holding off on her opponents and letting them back into the game, when she can really bagle the majority of them. But she is still young yet. That will fade away as she gets older.
