Iga Swiatek has recorded another incredible season in what is shaping out to be a legendary career. <\/p>\n

Still aged just 24, Swiatek won her sixth Grand Slam title<\/a> in 2025 when she became the first Pole in history to emerge victorious in singles at the Wimbledon championships.<\/p>\n

Her triumph at the All England Club saw her surpass the major tallies of tennis greats such as Maria Sharapova<\/a> and Martina Hingis. <\/p>\n

Outside of her heroics in South West London, Swiatek<\/a> has also picked up WTA<\/a> crowns in Cincinnati and Seoul, as well as making the semifinals at the Australian Open and Roland Garros. <\/p>\n

With just the WTA Finals<\/a> to go, Swiatek has managed something on tour this year that no woman has achieved in over 20 years.<\/p>\n

The feat Iga Swiatek has become the first to achieve in 24 years<\/p>\n

Over the course of her 2025 campaign, Swiatek has amassed a record of 61 wins to 15 losses.<\/p>\n

Swiatek has now tallied over 60 tour-level victories in each of her last four seasons, totalling a win percentage over 80% every year since 2022.<\/p>\n

2022: 67 wins, nine losses \u2013 88% win percentage 2023: 68 wins, 11 losses \u2013 86% win percentage 2024: 64 wins, nine losses \u2013 88% win percentage 2025: 61 wins, 15 losses \u2013 80% win percentage <\/p>\n

She is the first women\u2019s player to pick up 60 or more wins in a season for four consecutive years since Hingis and Lindsay Davenport in 2001. <\/p>\n

That year, Davenport had managed the feat from 1998 to 2001, while Hingis had hit the 60 mark each season from 1997 to 2001.<\/p>\n

For Swiatek, 10 of her 15 losses have come on hard court. Four were on clay, while only one defeat was suffered on grass, which came in the final of the Bad Homburg Open.<\/p>\n

Swiatek now has the chance to increase her win tally even more at the WTA Finals, where she will be one of the heavy favourites to go all the way.<\/p>\n

Seeded second at the WTA Finals, Swiatek is seeking to win the year-end title for the second time in her career, following her victory in 2023. <\/p>\n

This time around in Riyadh, the home of this year\u2019s tournament, she has been drawn in the same group as Amanda Anisimova<\/a>, Elena Rybakina, and Madison Keys<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Swiatek\u2019s first opponent at the WTA Finals is Keys, whom she has faced eight times on the WTA Tour before. <\/p>\n

She leads the American 5-2 in their head-to-head, and won their most recent clash at the Madrid Open, but lost their last matchup on hard court, which came in the Australian Open semifinals.<\/p>\n

Their meeting at the WTA Finals will mark their first tour-level bout on an indoor hard court. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow us on Google Discover Iga Swiatek has recorded another incredible season in what is shaping out to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":189736,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[810,101,118,56,54,55,6546],"class_list":{"0":"post-235226","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-iga-swiatek","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-tennis","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom","14":"tag-wta"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235226\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
