She has struggled with her serve over the past year
Swiatek hasn’t been her most consistent player this year, but her play has improved. She has reached three major semifinals this year, and won twice at Roland Garros. She is the first player to reach three US Open semifinals and a third Grand Slam final in one year since Serena Williams in 2014. Swiatek also reached the final of the French Open for the first time in her career.
But in the past three tournaments, Swiatek has struggled with her service game, and her performance has been hampered by it. But her mental strength has been her ally. She has been able to make adjustments in the middle of matches and has remained confident throughout the tournament. Her mental toughness may be her most valuable asset against Jabeur. But she’ll need to stay focused and rely on her strong serve returns to beat her opponent.
While Swiatek has struggled with her serves for the past year, she has also developed a strategy to compensate for it. She has embraced the idea of playing fast-strike attack tennis, when many points are at stake and pressure is on.
Swiatek’s streak began in late February in Doha, where she beat Anett Kontaveit of Estonia in the final. She went on to defeat Maria Sakkari of Greece in Indian Wells and then beat Naomi Osaka in Miami. The last of these matches was a close match, but Swiatek came back from a set down in all but one of them.
The Swiss has struggled with her serve over the past 12 months, but her recent form has changed her fortunes. She has adapted her game to hard courts and has become one of the best players on hard courts. The former No. 2 ranked player in the world has also begun to win more WTA 1000 events on clay.
