Weeks at world No. 1
Born in Warsaw on 31 May 2001, Świątek is the daughter of Tomasz Świątek, who rowed for Poland at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. She won the Wimbledon girls' title in 2018 and her first major at the 2020 French Open, the first of four there, and added the 2022 US Open. She first became world No. 1 in April 2022 and held the ranking for 125 weeks. In 2024 she won Olympic bronze in Paris, Poland's first Olympic tennis medal, and served a one-month suspension after a positive test for trimetazidine traced to contaminated melatonin. Wimbledon in 2025 was her sixth major and her first grass title. In 2026 she changed coach, from Wim Fissette to Francisco Roig. Her 2026 grass season was brief: an opening loss in Bad Homburg and a third-round defeat by Alexandra Eala at Wimbledon.

She arrived as world No. 1, unbeaten since February and on a 37-match winning streak. Alizé Cornet, 32, ended it 6-4, 6-2 in 92 minutes. "It reminds me of the time I beat Serena on this court eight years ago," Cornet said, adding: "I am like the good wine in France. Good wine always ages well."

Against Amanda Anisimova she won 6-0, 6-0 in under an hour, the most one-sided women's Wimbledon final of the Open Era and her first title on grass. "It seems super surreal," she said. "I feel like I'm already an experienced player after winning the Slams before, but I never really expected this one."

As defending champion she lost to Alexandra Eala 7-6 (9), 6-2, after Eala saved two set points in the first-set tie-break. "I felt like Alexandra was more brave in important moments," Świątek said. Eala, 21, became the first Filipino player to reach the fourth round of a major and dedicated the win to her family.
