Iga Swiatek’s 2022 success is just what women’s tennis needed

Winning her second major title of 2022 and third major overall, Iga Swiatek is refocusing the dynamic of women’s tennis and giving it just what it needs.

Having toppled Ons Jabeur in the US Open final, Iga Swiatek is now a three-time Grand Slam champion at just 21 years of age. In a time when women’s tennis has become a free-for-all competition with no player standing out from the pack, we may finally be seeing a shift in this dynamic. Since the unprecedented retirement of Ash Barty earlier this year, Iga Swiatek has managed to maintain the number one spot in the WTA rankings all throughout the 2022 season.
