World No.1 Iga Swiatek visibly let her emotions get the better of her after losing out to Jessica Pegula in the Quarter-Finals of the 2024 US Open on Wednesday.
The defeat ended her bid for a second US Open and a sixth Grand Slam. She came to New York after reaching the semi-finals of Cincinnati. She defeated Kamilla Rakhimova in straight sets before then seeing off Ena Shibahara, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Liudmila Samsonova to reach the last four.
While Pegula came in with the better form but more scar tissue. She had won the Canadian Open and reached the final of Cincinnati. But had priorly lost in six major Quarter-Finals. But produced a shock win 6-2, 6-4 setting up a clash with Karolina Muchova in the last four.
Swiatek though let her emotions out as she often does with a video in the players room making it to social media where she was seen wiping away the tears and visibly struggling to cope with defeat.
