Milestones achieved

Iga Swiatek’s Wimbledon victory marks several historic milestones. She became the first Polish player to win the Wimbledon title in the Open Era. As the No. 8 seed, she joined Ashleigh Barty (2019 Roland Garros) and Petra Kvitova (2011 Wimbledon) as the third woman to claim a Grand Slam at that seeding.

Swiatek also matched Margaret Court and Monica Seles as the third player in the Open Era to win all six of her first Women’s Singles Grand Slam finals. She is the eighth first-time Wimbledon champion in the last eight tournaments.

At 24, Swiatek became the youngest woman since Serena Williams in 2002 to win Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces. Additionally, she reached her 100th Grand Slam match win in her 120th match (100-20), the fastest to this milestone since Serena Williams in 2004 (116 matches).
