She said, “To work your way into it, to start playing better tennis, and to go through that event playing better and better each match, through the conditions that the players had to deal with, It was rainy, and it was windy. At times, it seemed impossible to control this little yellow tennis ball. And yet Swiatek kept pushing and playing her game. I think for me, that was the most impressive part of it.”

Rubin then went on to add, “She did get better each and every match. And to have the match like she did against Jessica Pegula, who was also playing incredible tennis, mind you? To have that kind of match with so much on the line, she just continues to be so impressive.”
