World No. 9 Iga Swiatek continues to impress on the Tour with her consistent performances across tournaments. The 20-year old Pole also reached her career-high ranking of World No.4 this season. Iga took the tennis world by storm when she won the 2020 French Open as a 19-year old teenager and since then has been very consistent.
In the 2021 season, she won two titles, the WTA-500 Adelaide International and then went on to win the WTA-1000 Italian Open with her victory in Rome being the quickest final as she defeated former champion Karolina Pliskova 6-0, 6-0 in just 46 minutes.
