(Reuters) -Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek proved they are only human at the U.S. Open on Saturday, showing that even the world's best players sometimes have to work things out on the fly when pure talent is not enough.
Wimbledon champion Swiatek embodied the day's theme of triumph through adversity, clawing her way back from 5-1 down in the opening set against Anna Kalinskaya before grinding out a 7-6(2) 6-4 victory.
