US Open draw reveals matchups for Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina

The US Open draw has been released, highlighting the paths for several top players. Iga Swiatek, seeded 8th, will face Xiyu Wang in the first round. Following a strong run in Toronto and Cincinnati, Swiatek is considered a primary contender for the title, though experts note she must manage unforced errors to reach the second week.

Other Polish players also have confirmed matchups: Maja Chwalinska faces Taylor Townsend, while Magdalena Fręch and Magda Linette are positioned in the same bracket, potentially leading to a domestic matchup in the second round.

Meanwhile, world No. 2 Elena Rybakina remains uncertain for the tournament. Recovering from a leg injury sustained during the Cincinnati quarterfinals, Rybakina has expressed caution regarding her return, stating she will not rush her comeback despite the opportunity to compete for the world No. 1 ranking.
