Iga Swiatek’s control of the No. 1 ranking for more than two years has been incredible

Published

on

Swiatek first became No. 1 on April 4th, 2022. After an incredible start to the season, she replaced Ashleigh Barty, who had retired from professional tennis. The Pole would go on to have an incredible 37-match winning streak that was finally broken at that year’s Wimbledon

She retained her position at the top for 75 weeks. During that time, Swiatek’s achievements included two French Open titles, winning the 2022 US Open, and a second consecutive Italian Open crown.

The five-time Grand Slam champion was just 20 years old when she first became No. 1, making her consistency at No. 1 even more impressive and inspirational to fans worldwide. Swiatek’s first spell at No. 1 ended after the 2023 US Open. Aryna Sabalenka’s run to the final at Flushing Meadows gave her enough points to overtake the previous year’s champion in New York in the rankings.

Some expected Swiatek to suffer a dip in form for the rest of 2023 after that setback. After everything she had achieved in the previous 75 weeks at No. 1, it would have been entirely understandable.
