Iga Swiatek hilariously cut off Casper Ruud and corrected him during their post-match interview following their US Open mixed doubles win. Swiatek and Ruud have teamed up for this year's US Open mixed doubles.

This time, it felt like a little bit more than “a bit of an exhibition” for Jack Draper.  Draper described the first two rounds of the revamped mixed doubles tournament at the U.S. Open in that

Iga Swiatek called out Casper Ruud after they booked their spot in Wednesday night’s US Open mixed doubles semi-final. The world No. 2 was in doubt to compete in the revamped tournament, winning her Cincinnati Open final the night before she was due to take to the court in Flushing Meadows.

Iga Swiatek on Tuesday shrugged off lingering weariness to partner Casper Ruud to back-to-back victories in the revamped mixed doubles competition at the US Open. Swiatek — who on Monday had battled through a two-hour tussle with Jasmine Paolini to win the Cincinnati Open — looked full of energy as she and Ruud powered into semi-finals.

Following her 7-5, 6-4 final win over Jasmine Paolini to earn her first Cincinnati Open title on Monday night, the world No. 2 took a private jet along with Carlos Alcaraz to New York to arrive in time for the U.S. Open mixed doubles tournament Tuesday.

Look no further than Iga Swiatek. Earlier this summer, the sky was falling for Swiatek. She failed to defend any of her clay court titles, sank in the WTA Rankings, and was fielding outlandish questions about possibly skipping the grass court season altogether (luckily, that did not happen).

Iga Swiatek has been "in bully mode" since Wimbledon, says Drew Dinsick, and he views her as the "short shot" over Aryna Sabalenka with a favorable outright price to win the US Open outright.
