The 2022 U.S. Open featured brilliant tennis in both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s brackets, and now the tournament has crowned its champions. No. 1 seed Iga \u015awi\u0105tek defeated No. 5 Ons Jabeur in the women\u2019s final on Saturday. No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz defeated No. 5 seed Casper Ruud in the men\u2019s final on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
