Iga Swiatek Stumbles into Second Round of US Open Despite Sloppy Play

Sloppy Play Mars Swiatek's US Open Debut

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek advanced to the second round of the US Open on Monday, but the victory was far from convincing. The top seed struggled with her serve and made numerous unforced errors throughout the match.

Swiatek Battles Through Errors

Swiatek committed 30 unforced errors in the match, including seven double faults. Her serve was also inconsistent, with only 53% of her first serves finding the court.

Despite her struggles, Swiatek was able to break her opponent, Alison Van Uytvanck, six times. She also saved eight of the 10 break points she faced.

Keys to Swiatek's Victory

• Aggressive play: Swiatek was not afraid to take risks, even when she was struggling with her serve.
• Mental toughness: Swiatek refused to let her early errors get to her, and she remained focused throughout the match.
• Experience: Swiatek's experience at the top level allowed her to grind out a victory even when she was not at her best.

What's Next for Swiatek?

Swiatek will face Sloane Stephens in the second round of the US Open. Stephens is a former US Open champion and is always a dangerous opponent on hard courts.

Swiatek will need to improve her serve and reduce her unforced errors if she wants to continue her title defense. But if she can play with the same aggression and mental toughness that she showed in the first round, she will be a threat to win the US Open.
