Tennis Legend Iga Swiatek share Major Achievements, along side with Family Photos
She is currently ranked as the world No. 1 in women’s singles by the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), having held the position for a total of 76 weeks. Świątek is a four-time Major singles champion, having won the French Open in 2020, 2022, and 2023 and the US Open in 2022.
Her family has played an instrumental role in her rise to the top. The 21-year-old’s mother Doria Swiatek is a dentist and her father Tomasz Swiatek specialized in the sport of rowing and represented Poland at the Olympics. Her sister Agata is a dentistry student at the Medical University of Lublin.
Tomasz tried to get both of his daughters into sports, specifically individual sports, to have a better chance at success. While Agata initially took to swimming, she later switched to tennis. After briefly competing in the ITF Junior Circuit, she quit the sport following injury troubles.
