She added a staggering eight WTA singles titles to her trophy cabinet, including four WTA 1000, two WTA 500, and two Grand Slam titles — the French Open and the US Open.The difference between the World No. 1 and second-ranked Ons Jabeur's ranking points is a testament to the 21-year-old's dominance. While the Tunisian amassed 5,055 points, Swiatek racked up more than double that — 11,085 points. This is the highest for any player since Serena Williams' 13,260 points in 2013.Another major accomplishment for the three-time Grand Slam winner was breaking Venus Williams' record for most consecutive wins this century. The American icon had 35 straight wins against her name, and Swiatek went a step further to win 37 matches on the trot.After losing her last match of the year to Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals of the WTA Finals, the Pole stated that she was relieved that the season was over.&quot;This season has been so intense and I’m so proud of myself that I could play so well till the end. I’m happy it’s done,&quot; Iga Swiatek said.
