Iga Swiatek

Rafael Nadal defeated close friend Richard Gasquet for the 18th time to reach the U.S. Open fourth round as world number one Iga Swiatek made the last 16 for a second successive year.

New No. 1 Iga Swiatek powered Poland into the Billie Jean King Cup Finals for the first time and they were joined by other newcomers Italy and Kazakhstan.
