Since her arrival on the WTA Tour Iga Swiatek has struggled on grass.

The Pole has yet to win a title on the surface and she has yet to find her st from at the Wimbledon Championships.

To further illustrate her difficulties on grass, Iga Swiatek has reached the quarter-finals at the All-England Club just once.

She usually enters the grass court season in imperious form on the clay, but so far that has not been the case for the World number two this season.

Iga Swiatek confirms that she will play at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships

Swiatek suffered one of the worst defeats of her career at the recently concluded Madrid Open.

The 23-year-old lost 1-6, 1-6 to Coco Gauff in the semi-finals, bridging her title defence to an abrupt end.

Following that result, reports emerged that suggested Swiatek could skip the grass court season, including Wimbledon.

But according to a post on X by the Talking Tennis podcast on Tuesday, Swiatek has since confirmed that she will not skip Wimbledon and intends to play the grass court Grand Slam which commences on June 30.

What is Iga Swiatek’s Wimbledon record?

Swiatek has played five times at Wimbledon throughout her career so far.

The former World number one has played 16 matches in total, and won 11, giving her a win percentage of 69%, her lowest at any of the Grand Slams.

Swiatek’s overall grass court record consists of 24 wins and 10 defeats, and this percentage stands at 70.59%.

She will hope to change that when she takes to the hallowed grass courts at SW19, and if she does lift the Venus Rosewater dish, Swiatek will become the eighth woman to win a Grand Slam on hard, clay and grass courts.
