Early life

Iga Świątek played briefly on the ITF Junior Circuit around age 15 but had to stop due to injuries. Iga looked up to her sister and wanted to be just as good—or better—so she chose tennis too. She began training at Mera Warsaw at age 14 and later continued her development at Legia Warsaw.
Iga Świątek Career

She made her junior Grand Slam debut at the French Open in 2016. Later that year, she reached the finals of the Canadian Open junior championship. In 2017, she grabbed titles in both singles and doubles at the Grade 1 Traralgon Junior International in Australia.
By 2018, she had competed in two Grand Slam junior events and also represented Poland at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics. These years built the foundation for her professional career. Iga joined the ITF Women’s Circuit in 2016 and competed until 2018.
During this time, she won seven ITF singles titles. Her biggest wins came in 2018 at the NEK Ladies Open in Hungary and the Montreux Ladies Open in Switzerland. These victories helped her break into the WTA top 200 rankings at just 17 years old.
Her major WTA breakthrough came at age 18 in April 2019, when she reached her first WTA final at the Ladies Open Lugano. She finished as the runner-up but still climbed into the top 100. While she made a strong impression on the WTA tour, she didn’t find success at the Grand Slam level that year.
Rise to Fame
Iga Świątek faced ups and downs in her early pro career. She lost her second match at the US Open and dropped her opening match at Wimbledon. Despite that, she climbed into the top 50 that same week. An injury and surgery later forced her to miss the rest of the US Open season, and she finished the year ranked 61 in the world.
In 2020, she returned strong and entered the French Open ranked No. 54. That’s where she made history by becoming the first Polish player ever to win a Grand Slam singles title. She also played in the Australian Open that year, making it to the fourth round before exiting.
Her success continued to grow as she won her first WTA 1000 title at the Italian Open. She also qualified for the WTA Finals for the first time. In that same season, she reached her first Australian Open quarterfinal.
She pulled off a remarkable run by winning five titles during the Sunshine Double stretch, and by doing so, became the World No. 1.
