“I want to thank the audience for cheering me on. I tried, but Iga did not lighten my burden. He deserves to win today. I don’t really like her now, but that’s okay.

It’s been an incredible fortnight, I’m delighted to be able to play in a final again after Wimbledon. I will continue to work hard and I know that I will also win my first Grand Slam title.

I hope to be able to inspire more and more generations, that’s the goal. I was inspired by many champions… This is just the beginning of many things” – Ons Jaberafter the US Open final.

Iga Swiatek, good pay – Ons Jabeur wants a Rolex watch to forgive the world leader

Answering a press conference about his feelings for Iga Svyatek, Zhaber replied that he joked at the award ceremony and said that he would forgive her if she gave him a nice gift.

“I was joking when I said I didn’t like her. I’ll forgive her when she gives me a Rolex or something.

We will definitely play against each other again, because she doesn’t. 1 in the whole world, and I’m not. 2. We hope to have great matches between us. I think he has improved his forehand and his serve a lot. She was always firm on the lapel. It is quite difficult to play against her. Physically… it’s everywhere. Can return any ball. It’s always difficult to play with someone who takes an extra shot on the court.

I think we will play against each other in the Tournament of Champions. Maybe we will be in different groups. I do not know. But yeah, I’m trying to catch up with her in the rankings, I know she has a lot of points to defend, I don’t. This is a kind of goal” – Ons Jaberat the press conference.
