Iga Świątek (Polish pronunciation: [ˈiɡa ˈɕfjɔ̃tɛk]; EE-ga-SH-FYON-tek), born 31 May 2001) is a tennis player from Poland. She has won seven ITF singles titles and achieved a career-high singles ranking of world No. 88 in April 2019.

As a junior, she was part of the Polish team which won the Junior Fed Cup in 2016. She was also the 2018 French Open girls' doubles champion with Caty McNally, having lost to her partner in the singles' semi-final, but the highlight of her junior career was undoubtedly her victory in the girls' singles final at Wimbledon a few weeks later, defeating Leonie Küng of Switzerland in straight sets. She completed her junior career at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, where she won the gold medal in the girls' doubles with Kaja Juvan of Slovenia, who also won gold in the girls' singles.

Early life and background

Iga Świątek was born to 1988 Olympic rower Tomasz Świątek who competed in the men's quadruple sculls event at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. She resides in Raszyn, a small town near Warsaw.
