Until the second half of June, Iga Świątek was playing a season that many considered far below her potential, although the Polish tennis player's results would certainly satisfy at least 95% of other tennis players. However, our star always aims as high as possible, and even two Grand Slam semifinals weren't nearly as satisfying.

It was hard to expect the situation to change during her short stint playing on grass. However, as it turned out, working with Wim Fissett truly helped Świątek discover the key to playing on this surface. The Polish player entered the grass-court season with a smile on her face, and in her first tournament, she reached the final – in Bad Homburg. She lost that one, but learned a great deal.

She applied these conclusions to her performances at Wimbledon. This year's London tournament will be remembered by the Raszyn player for the rest of her life, as it ended with something that for many years seemed downright impossible – a final triumph. Świątek defeated Amanda Anisimova in Saturday's final, never conceding a single modest game to the American. The 6-0, 6-0 victory is absolutely historic.

It's no surprise, of course, that Wimbledon's social media profiles were immediately inundated with photos and videos featuring Iga, but only one was pinned to the X profile." Grass, controlled. Iga Świątek is the first Polish Wimbledon champion in women's singles" - we read in this pinned post, to which a truly aesthetic graphic was added.

The WTA also did the same." Iga Świątek is the Wimbledon champion. Iga Świątek completed her incredible victory over Amanda Anisimova and won her sixth Grand Slam title and her first Wimbledon," we read, and the post was accompanied by a photo of the delighted Polish woman.
