17 on the trot. Iga Swiatek’s created the perfect launching pad to the No.1 ranking by completing a mind-blowing three tournament journey through Doha, Indian Wells and Miami. Here, we take a closer look at some of the many milestones the 20-year-old Pole has cracked.



4 - Swiatek is the fourth woman – and the youngest of the group – to win the Sunshine Double. At 20 years of age, Swiatek joins legends Steffi Graf, Kim Clijsters and Victoria Azarenka on the list of Indian Wells-Miami double winners.

6-0 - Swiatek has won her last six finals and dropped just 20 games across all of them. Her opponents in those finals: Sofia Kenin, Belinda Bencic, Karolina Pliskova, Anett Kontaveit, Maria Sakkari and Naomi Osaka.

13-1 - Swiatek has now won 13 of her 14 career finals including ITF tournaments – the only exception was against Polona Hercog in her first WTA-level final at Lugano 2019.

26 - That’s how many games the Polish talent dropped in six matches at Miami. Swiatek is the first player to drop 26 or fewer games on her way to win the title at the Miami Open since Martina Hingis in 2000 (21).

20 - Swiatek has reeled off 20 consecutive sets. She has not dropped a set since Angelique Kerber took the opening set of their round of 16 encounter at Indian Wells. Across those 20 sets, Simona Halep and Jessica Pegula are the only players that have managed to take more than four games from swiatek in a single set.

26-3 - Swiatek has ten more wins than any other player on tour in 2022, with 26 wins in 29 matches.

4-0 During her 17-match streak, Swiatek has won the four deciding sets she has played, dropping just seven games across all four, and never more than three games.

3 - Swiatek is the first player to win the first three WTA 1000 tournaments in a single season.

15-2 Swiatek goes 12-0 across the sunshine double, to improve her lifetime combined record at Indian Wells and Miami to 15-2. She had never been beyond the third round at Miami, or the round of 16 at Indian Wells, prior to 2022.

10 - Swiatek celebrates the 10-year anniversary of Agnieszka Radwanska’s Miami title by becoming the second Polish player to win the prestigious title.

2015 - Swiatek’s 17-match winning streak on hard courts is the longest on the WTA Tour since Serena Williams won 20 straight on the surface in 2015.

5- Swiatek joins Monica Seles, Serena Williams, Martina Hingis, Maria Sharapova on a laudable list of players that have reached the title round at Indian Wells and Miami in the same season before turning 21. The other four on the list have won a title of 42 major singles titles.

2 - Number of titles Swiatek has won in the United States. Prior to last month, Swiatek had never been beyond the round of 16 at any tournament held on American soil.

5 - Swiatek is the first player to win five or more WTA titles before turning 21 (she will do so on May 31) since Caroline Wozniacki in 2009.

0 - Swiatek has won seven sets by a score of 6-0 during her 17-match winning streak.

29 - The average rank of Swiatek’s 17-match winning streak is 29. She has gone 6-0 vs the top-20, 4-0 vs the top-10, and 4-0 against former Grand Slam champions (Kerber, Kvitova, Osaka and Halep).

28 - On Monday Swiatek will take her place as the 28th No 1-ranked player in WTA history, and the first – male or female – from Poland.
