World No.1 Iga Swiatek returns to US Open action on Monday evening as she takes on German underdog Jule Niemeier for a place in the quarter-finals of this year's competition.
Swiatek has looked totally untroubled on her route to the fourth round. The Polish superstar is yet to drop a set, having cruised past matches against Jasmine Paolini, Sloane Stephens and Lauren Davis.
She now takes on Germany's Jule Niemeier in this fourth-round clash. Here is everything you need to know about her opponent.
Who is Jule Niemeier?
Jule Niemeier may have only featured in her first Grand Slam tournament earlier this year, but the 23-year-old has made a splash on the professional scene, reaching the quarter-finals at Wimbledon in what was just her second Grand Slam appearance.
The Dortmund-born player is an imposing figure at 5' 10" tall and has made light work of her first three opponents at the US Open, cruising past Sofia Kenin, Yulia Putintseva and Qinwen Zheng on her way to the fourth round.
Niemeier now faces world No.1 Iga Swiatek and will have to beat the Polish star if she's to match her career-best Grand Slam finish.
