The current WTA world no.1 Iga Swiatek has had an outstanding year so far. However, after a great hard and clay court season, Swiatek had an underwhelming time at the Wimbledon Championships. In the third round of the tournament, she suffered a shocking loss to the French tennis player Alize Cornet, which also ended her record-breaking 37-match winning streak.

Despite the loss, her sponsors are pretty happy with her performances this season. Notably, in 2021, she announced her deal with the legendary Swiss watch company Rolex and she has been wearing the brand since then. Recently, she posed for a photo wearing the latest edition of a Rolex watch.

Notably, Swiatek has a weird routine after winning every match, just like her idol Rafael Nadal. After winning, she usually puts on her Rolex watch and then goes for a post-match interview. We have seen her do this on multiple occasions in the past 6 months.
Along with Iga Swiatek, Rolex has also been one of the main sponsors of Roger Federer since his early days and they recently acquired the Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas.
