Four months later, Swiatek enjoyed a pleasant surprise after her US Open win. Swiatek defeated Ons Jabeur 6-2, 7-6 to win her first US Open title, and third overall.

“I’m told if you open up the top of the trophy, there may be something,” advised the moderator following the last question at the press conference.
As Swiatek lifted the trophy to discover her favourite dessert, USTA’s Managing Director of Corporate Communications Chris Widmaier said, “We notice you always check your trophy. This time we wanted you to find something. It is from the US Open.”
“Thank you,” exclaimed a surprised Swiatek. “I really appreciate it. Especially since I didn’t have anything to eat.”
