Iga Świątek faces Ludmilla Samsonova in the US Open round of 16. Can Świątek repeat her 2022 triumph?
Polish tennis star Iga Świątek is set to face Russia’s Ludmilla Samsonova in the round of 16 at the US Open. The match is scheduled for 1:00 AM Polish time, early Tuesday morning. Świątek is aiming to repeat her triumph from 2022, when she claimed the US Open title.
A Challenging Opponent
Ludmilla Samsonova, the 25-year-old Russian player, is seeded 16th in the tournament. This marks her second appearance in the US Open round of 16, but she has yet to reach the quarterfinals in any Grand Slam event. Despite Samsonova’s skill, Świątek has dominated their past encounters, winning all three matches. In their last two meetings, Świątek conceded only five games to Samsonova.
More Action on Monday
Monday’s lineup also includes Jannik Sinner, the ATP world number one, facing American Tommy Paul, seeded 14th. This match will follow Świątek’s game, adding to an exciting day of tennis at the US Open.
