From the first day of her career, Iga Swiatek showed how much she strives to progress, aiming to become the best version of herself.
On such a path, filled with thorns, she managed to establish herself as one of the best tennis players in the world, and her hunger for success still continues.
In an interview with the media, the Polish tennis player gave an overview of the 2025 season, aware that by winning Wimbledon at the end of the season, she made her season successful, but there is always room for progress.
The 24-year-old pointed out that finishing as number 2 is a great success, stressing that the competition on the tennis scene is stronger than ever.
Women's tennis is becoming more and more popular, and the reason lies in the fact that women's tennis hides a sea of competition, with many female tennis players who want to be at the very top of the WTA rankings.
Iga Swiatek gave her serve as an example, saying that although she has improved in that aspect, from year to year there are female tennis players who have an even stronger serve and strive for progress.
“I think finishing as No. 2 is a great achievement.
I think the level we’re all at got more equal. I think you could see that, especially during the WTA finals, basically, any of us could win this tournament, we really played a lot of tight matches.
There are some players that obviously prefer some conditions or others who feel better in this or that part of the season… but I think overall we all are getting better in a really fast way.
If I would serve, like, 185 kilometres per hour three years ago, I think it would be a game changer, and it would be amazing, but now (that) I actually learned to do that, I realised that girls are serving 195. It’s obviously not only about the speed. It is just an example, but I think tennis is evolving and we’re all presenting a pretty good level now.”- Swiatek said.

Iga Swiatek and goals
A career Grand Slam is her biggest wish, but Iga stresses that she does not want to set any goals for herself, because it may create extra pressure.
The focus of this great tennis player is exclusively on the upcoming tournament.
The future of the Polish woman is always interesting, as she wants to use this period of the year to understand where she may have made mistakes and to improve further.
