Iga Swiatek vs Emiliana Arango prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: US Open 2025

Iga Swiatek enters US Open in fine form, having reached the final in three of her last four tournaments.

Former champion Iga Swiatek returns to Flushing Meadows eyeing a second US Open title, having lifted her first here in 2022.

The 24-year-old Pole’s 2025 season has been a mix of highs and near-misses, with four semi-final runs earlier in the year, including at Roland Garros, where she was a three-time defending champion — but without a title to show.

Her title-less streak of more than 13 months came to an end at Wimbledon, where she stormed to her maiden crown with a dominant run, capping it off with a double-bagel win over Amanda Anisimova.

Swiatek followed it up with a strong performance in Cincinnati, defeating Jasmine Paolini in straight sets to claim the title and secure the No. 2 seed for the US Open.

Now back to World No. 2, the Polish star is unbeaten in Grand Slam finals (6-0), matching Monica Seles’ record of winning her first six major finals between 1990 and 1992.

Preview

On the WTA Tour, Emiliana Arango started 2025 with a solid outing in Merida, a WTA-250 event, finishing as runner-up. Since then, the Colombian has struggled for form and rhythm, rarely progressing beyond the qualifiers. Her most recent campaigns at Montreal and Cincinnati ended in the very first round.

Arango will now take on the six-time Grand Slam champion, who has been tipped as a prime contender for the US Open title. Still trying to find her feet at this level, Arango faces a daunting challenge.

Her most recent clash against a top-10-ranked star was at Queen’s Club, against Qinwen Zheng, with the Chinese prevailing easily in straight sets. Swiatek and Arango have met only once, back at the 2017 Roland Garros junior level, where the Pole won in straight sets.

Match prediction

Iga Swiatek enters her US Open opener as the overwhelming favourite against Emiliana Arango, with no prior head-to-head record at the senior level. Riding high after Wimbledon and Cincinnati titles, Swiatek has been dominant across surfaces and shows no signs of slowing down.

Arango, with limited success in 2025, is unlikely to trouble the World No. 2. Swiatek should seal a straightforward victory to proceed to the next round.

Result: Iga Swiatek to win in straight sets.
