Iga Swiatek, the reigning World No. 1 in women’s tennis, has achieved a significant milestone by securing her 100th tour-level victory during her tenure at the top. This accomplishment places her in an esteemed group of former No. 1 players, including tennis legends like Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf, and Serena Williams.
In her latest triumph, Swiatek dominated China’s Qinwen Zheng in straight sets at the United Cup, advancing Poland into the semifinals of the mixed-gender team tournament. Alongside teammate Hubert Hurkacz, Poland is now just two ties away from clinching the tournament title and faces France in the upcoming semifinal at the Ken Rosewall Arena in Sydney.
Swiatek’s stellar performance extends beyond this tournament, as she remains unbeaten in 2024, boasting a 14-match winning streak in singles dating back to the previous year’s China Open. Her resilience and consistency have solidified her status as a dominant force in women’s tennis.
Having reclaimed the World No. 1 ranking from Aryna Sabalenka in the latter part of the previous season, Swiatek secured titles in Beijing and Cancun, the latter marking her inaugural year-end championships. Impressively, she has dropped only one set in her current unbeaten run, showcasing her exceptional skill and mental fortitude on the court.
As Poland’s top player, Swiatek is set to face France’s top-ranked woman in the United Cup this weekend, presenting another opportunity to showcase her prowess. Despite her achievements, the 22-year-old remains grounded, downplaying expectations ahead of the Australian Open, scheduled to commence on January 14th.
With her remarkable form and poised demeanor, Swiatek is not only a formidable contender for the Australian Open but is also positioned as the colossal favorite to secure her first Melbourne Slam title. As she continues to make waves in the tennis world, her journey may see her crowned not only as a United Cup champion but also as a Grand Slam victor in the near future.
