Brad Gilbert caught criticism on social media after apparently engaging with Iga Swiatek's harasser on X. Over the weekend, Gilbert - who coached Coco Gauff for a year between 2023 and 2024 - appeared to question why the Cincinnati Open organizers were granting all of Swiatek's requests to have her matches scheduled early.

Iga Swiatek shrugged off lingering weariness to partner Casper Ruud to back-to-back victories in the revamped mixed doubles competition at the US Open on Tuesday.This year's US Open mixed doubles competition is being held over Tuesday and Wednesday in the week before the main singles draws get under way.

Look no further than Iga Swiatek. Earlier this summer, the sky was falling for Swiatek. She failed to defend any of her clay court titles, sank in the WTA Rankings, and was fielding outlandish questions about possibly skipping the grass court season altogether (luckily, that did not happen).

Swiatek then explained: "That's not possible because when your agent asked my agent, I think, or you asked me, I had no idea what I'm signing up for. I was like, 'Yeah okay, I want to play with Casper.' But I didn't know what the tournament is going to look like so it must've been you."

Iga Swiatek is in New York chasing for the revamped US Open mixed doubles she is playing alongside Casper Ruud. She played the first match of this tournament a day after clinching her second title of the season.
