Marie Bouzková left the US Open disappointed, but with more satisfaction than after any of her previous matches against Iga Świątek.

The Czech player faced Świątek for the fourth time in her career and again failed to win a set. This time, however, she pushed the Polish star through a closely contested third-round match.

Both sets went to the closing stages before Bouzková lost them in tiebreaks, 7-6, 7-6. The defeat ended her run at the season’s final Grand Slam, but she remained motivated after what she regarded as her strongest performance against Świątek.
