Tennis fans and players around the world were in pure awe of the amazing performance of Iga Swiatek in the 2023 French Open. Even Rafael Nadal reached out to Iga to give her the opportunity to have her moment at the Rafael Nadal Academy. Except for Rafa, a lot of other tennis players such as Maria Sharapova also could not stop themselves from singing the praises of the Pole in the Netflix series “Break Point”.

After winning the 2023 Roland Garros, Swiatek became the first Polish tennis player to win three French Open titles. She dominated the tournament with her powerful forehand, precise serves, and agile footwork. Her remarkable performance at the French Open proved that she is a force to be reckoned with and has a bright future ahead of her in the sport.
