Iga Swiatek could play Coco Gauff in the U.S. Open quarterfinals, which was the biggest news to come out of the women’s singles draw reveal.
Swiatek bids for a fifth major and repeat U.S. Open title.
She’s 8-1 in her career against Gauff, but the 19-year-old American has the momentum after beating Swiatek in the last top-level tournament before the U.S. Open in Mason, Ohio, last week.
Gauff rolls into the U.S. Open with an 11-1 record in the U.S. summer hard-court swing, bagging the two biggest tournament titles of her career to bring her seed up to No. 6.
The other top seeds after No. 1 Swiatek are No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open champ), No. 3 Jessica Pegula, No. 4 Elena Rybakina (2022 Wimbledon winner) and No. 5 Ons Jabeur (runner-up at Wimbledon, U.S. Open).
