Which Country is Iga Swiatek From?

At the young age of 23, Iga Świątek has remarkable achievements and a rapid rise to stardom. She was born on May 31, 2001, and has dominated the WTA over the past few years. Świątek has become a prominent figure in the sport, firmly securing her position as the World No. 1 in the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) rankings for 125 weeks.

In 2022, Świątek made history by becoming the first woman since Serena Williams in 2013 to win both the US Open and the French Open in the same season. As of the 2024 season, the powerhouse has five Grand Slam titles, including three consecutive French Open titles from 2022 to 2024.

Swiatek entered her 100th week as the world's No. 1, surpassing Lindsay Davenport and thus acquiring ninth place in the all-time table. Her amazing 37-match winning streak marked the longest winning run on the WTA Tour in the twenty-first century. However, her streak was broken by gold medalist Qinwen Zheng in the semifinal of the 2024 Paris Olympics. She eventually had to settle for a bronze medal by registering a win against Anna Karolína Schmiedlová in straight sets, thus becoming the first player from Poland to win a medal in tennis.

Earlier in 2023, Świątek continued to shine on the tennis court. She demonstrated her unwavering commitment to excellence by clinching her third French Open title, triumphing over Karolína Muchová in an intense final that lasted three sets, with scores of 6-2, 5-7, 6-4.
