Iga Swiatek enjoyed another superb season on the WTA Tour, in which she claimed a fantastic three titles.
Swiatek plans to skip some tournaments in 2026, but plenty of success can be expected from the events she takes on.

He said in a press conference in New York back then: “Iga has been dominating the women’s game the last couple of years and is a multiple Grand Slam winner.
“I love her devotion and dedication. Maybe she’s too humble to say this, but she’s got a great fighting spirit.
“She’s a warrior, she goes out there and doesn’t give a single game. Actually, she probably has the most bagels of anyone in women’s tennis over the last few years.
“It speaks about how seriously and professionally she’s taking every single point and game on the court. So that’s very admirable. I really like that kind of champion spirit and mindset.”
