Iga Swiatek aims for success at Tokyo Olympic Games

Iga Swiatek has slowly risen up the ranks in the female tennis circuit. The Polish star has already won two titles this year – the Italian Open and the Adelaide Open. However, her record at major events, owing to a poor run of form, has been less than ideal this season.

She lost out in the fourth-round, quarterfinal, and the fourth-round of the Australian Open, French Open, and the Wimbledon Championships, respectively. However, Iga has been a promising young talent to look out for, who can also challenge the big guns in the circuit.

After a successful 2020 French Open title win, the Pole will be hopeful of making a mark at the Olympic Games. As a result of her young age, Iga still has a lot of time for attaining success at the biggest stage.

Possible medal for Poland in tennis

Poland has been a great performer at the Olympic Games, both in individual as well as team sports. However, the country has never had a tennis player win a medal at the grand event. Poland has a total of 284 medals at the Summer Olympics, 68 gold, 84 silver, and 132 bronze.

The burden is big on the young and small shoulders of Iga Swiatek; however it is not an improbable task to fulfil. The World No.8 can record some big upsets at the tournament, consequently attaining a podium finish for Poland in tennis.
