Iga Swiatek enjoys double celebration at US Open after big Taylor Swift news

Swiftie Iga Swiatek had a double celebration yesterday as she quickly won her 50th match of the year - and then learned her musical hero had got engaged. The Wimbledon champion lost only three points on her first serve as beat Emiliana Arango, Colombia 6-1 6-2 in an hour.

And then the Taylor Swift super fan walked off the Arthur Ashe Stadium to discover the big news of the day. "She posted when I finished," the Pole smiled. "Yeah, maybe that's not a coincidence. I don't know. My team showed me on Instagram. I'm just happy for her, because she deserves the best.

"Obviously she had a lot of boyfriends, so we know all about that. So hopefully this one will, you know, stick forever. Travis seems like a great guy. She seems super happy, so I'm happy for her. I wish them all the best."

"I have been a fan since 2014. I just followed everything. Then when the 'Reputation' album came out, I've got to say I didn't really like it that much. I liked the previous albums better. So I had a little break.

"But then in 2019 and when 'Folklore' and 'Evermore' were released during COVID, I started listening to Taylor again. It's great."

Fellow Wimbledon winner Jannik Sinner showed he is back to fitness by beating Czech world No.89 Vit Kopriva 6-1 6-1 6-2.

The world No.1 had pulled out of the Cincinnati Masters final against Carlos Alcaraz with illness. But the Italian defending champion said: "Obviously very happy that I'm healthy again, that we did our best to be in the best possible shape here," Sinner said. It feels great to be back here.
