But now the polish star is eyeing another grand slam final this year after winning the 2022 French Open.

In a press conference, Swiatek was recently asked about Pegula‘s success against her. Iga Swiatek hilariously answered, “I won against Jessie in Miami and somewhere else I think, What do you mean successful?” After Swiatek’s answer, the journalist corrected himself and asked what made Pegula a tough opponent for her.

Iga Swiatek currently leads the head-to-head against Jessica Pegula with a streak of 2-1. Swiatek defeated the American star in the semifinal at the Miami Open this year in straight sets followed by a win at the Roland Garros quarterfinal. The upcoming match between them will be an interesting one considering both the players are displaying exceptional tennis.
