Iga Swiatek is a five-time Grand Slam winner who has ranked as the number one female tennis player in the world.

Swiatek rose to fame in 2020 when she became the first player since Jelena Ostapenko to win a Grand Slam as her first WTA Tour event.

Indeed, she won the French Open, which Swiatek has since gone on to dominate with another three titles in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

The Pole has also lifted a US Open title (2022), meaning Swiatek is often one of the favourites to win Grand Slam titles on hard courts as well as clay surfaces.
