Iga Swiatek etched her name in history at the 2024 Olympics, becoming the first Polish player to win a tennis medal. The Pole needed just an hour to bury the horrors of her semifinal against Zheng, winning the bronze-medal match.

The World No. 1 shed a tear after the semifinal, having missed the opportunity to fight for gold. But she regrouped herself and delivered a historic bronze medal for her country.

Now, Swiatek will next be seen competing in the United States and Canada as the hard court season commences. The World No. 1 has withdrawn from the National Bank Open, citing fatigue. She is set to compete at the Cincinnati Open and the US Open.
