Emotional WTA Finals Night Prompts Iga Swiatek to Dish Out a Heart-Warming Message as She Seeks Ultimate Glory in Cancun

For Iga Swiatek, the sky is the limit! Winning four Grand Slam titles, reaching the world number one ranking, and becoming one of the rising stars of this generation, Swiatek has done it all. But is this something that she had always planned? Recently, after making it to the WTA Finals’ last step, the 22-year-old made a huge revelation regarding where she is today in the tennis circuit.

In the world of women’s tennis, the second-ranked player has faced fierce competition and has ascended the ladder of success at a relatively young age. Apparently, she has always given her all, one after another, and produced incredible outcomes on her end while doing so without skipping a beat. Swiatek now opens up about her approach towards the game.

Iga Swiatek talks about her position in the tennis world

As the 22-year-old is ready to face Jessica Pegula to claim the WTA Finals under her name, this year has been an emotional roller-coaster for her in terms of achievements on the court. In a recent conversation with the Tennis Channel, Iga Swiatek opened up about how far she has come while living her tennis dream.

Swiatek said, “For sure, it’s not easy. It’s kind of a high-pressure environment. Overall, I’m just happy I’m in that place. I never really thought it would be possible for me. I just try to really be grateful for that. It doesn’t matter if I’m 22. I feel like I’m older. So I don’t really think about that every day.”  

Along with that, she also talked about how, as a 22-year-old, she has handled herself to give her best in every match possible. Further, she also highlighted how she is not well-versed in the handling part, as this is what she always wanted to do. In addition, she also stated that even though it’s not easy to play under pressure, she has always been grateful for what she has received on the court.

Nevertheless, a few months ago, Iga Swiatek also stamped her authority as a true Serena Williams successor while achieving an incredible dominant record at the China Open.

Although the years 2022 and 2023 have been quite challenging for the Polish tennis player, she has stood the test of time. Every now and then, after turning challenges into opportunities leading to countless victories, she finally matched one of the 42-year-old American tennis legend’s unbeatable achievements.

Iga Swiatek is the only player to have multiple seasons with more than 20 victories in straight sets after Williams. The 23-time Grand Slam champion achieved such incredible feats back in 2013 and 2014, but since then, no other tennis player has been able to carry such a long victory run. But Swiatek is built differently; while trying to give her best, she, somewhere down the line, puts herself in a position where she can be the one who follows Williams’ achievements.

Nevertheless, Iga Swiatek is not leaving any chance to give her best while trying to live her tennis dream. What do you think about the 22-year-old tennis player’s achievements at such a young age? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
