Iga Swiatek (Polish Tennis Player)

Iga Natalia Świątek (born 31 May 2001) is a Polish professional tennis player. She has been ranked as the world No. 1 in women's singles by the WTA, having held the position for a total of 125 weeks (seventh on the all-time list). Świątek has won 22 WTA Tour-level singles titles, including five majors (four at the French Open and one at the US Open), as well as the 2023 WTA Finals and ten WTA 1000 titles. She is the only player representing Poland to win a major singles title.

As a junior, Świątek was the 2018 French Open girls' doubles champion alongside Caty McNally and the 2018 Wimbledon girls' singles champion. She began playing regularly on the WTA Tour in 2019, and entered the top 50 at 18 years old after her first Tour final and a fourth-round appearance at the 2019 French Open. In 2020, Świątek won her first major at the French Open in dominant fashion, losing no more than five games in any singles match. She entered the top ten of the WTA rankings for the first time in May 2021.

In early 2022, Świątek surged into dominant form with a 37-match winning streak, the longest on the WTA Tour in the 21st century, becoming world No. 1 in the process. With major titles at the French and US Opens, she finished 2022 as the world's best player. She repeated the year-end No. 1 feat in 2023 by defending her French Open title and claiming the WTA Finals, and won the French Open for a third straight edition in 2024. She has claimed the French Open title at four of her six appearances at the tournament, having never lost a match before the fourth round.

Świątek has an all-court playing style. She won the WTA Fan Favorite Shot of the Year in 2019 with a drop shot from the baseline, and was voted WTA Fan Favorite Singles Player of the Year in 2020. In 2023, she was named L'Équipe Champion of Champions and Polish Sports Personality of the Year and included on Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
