It’s been a remarkable year for Iga Swiatek, who has just become the first woman since Serena Williams to win the WTA Player of the Year award two years in a row.
The 19-year-old Polish star has had an incredible 2020 season, winning her first Grand Slam title at the French Open and finishing the year as the world’s No. 4 player. She also won the WTA Finals and the WTA Elite Trophy, and reached the semifinals of the US Open.
Swiatek is the first woman since Williams to win the WTA Player of the Year award two years in a row. Williams won the award in 2013 and 2014, and Swiatek has now matched that feat.
Swiatek is also the youngest player to win the award since Maria Sharapova in 2004. She is only the fourth woman to win the award in consecutive years, joining Williams, Justine Henin and Martina Hingis.
Swiatek’s success this year has been remarkable, especially considering she was ranked outside of the top 50 at the start of 2020. She has risen to become one of the best players in the world, and her success is a testament to her hard work and dedication.
Swiatek is an inspiration to young players everywhere, and her success is a reminder that hard work and dedication can pay off. She is a great example of what can be achieved with determination and dedication.
