It’s Iga Świątek, the five-time Grand Slam champion who spent 125 weeks as the world No. 1 between early 2022 and late 2024. She’s the No. 8 seed at Wimbledon, but she’s actually the world No. 4. Only four players are left in the draw now, and she is one of them — for the first time.

Iga Swiatek is the youngest woman since Serena Williams to own Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces after becoming Wimbledon's champion.

New Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek has hit out at the media’s coverage of her this season, saying: “Leave me alone.” Swiatek swept aside America’s Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in only 57 minutes to win her first Wimbledon title and sixth grand slam in all, cementing her place as the best player of the current generation.
