Iga Swiatek has been crowned the 'Baker of the Year' by prominent tennis account, Tennis Bakery who post when players win sets 6-0, 6-1 which prompts either a bagel or a breadstick in tennis terms.
Swiatek despite admitting previously that she doesn't like the term has been the queen of this feat for a while often going from one extreme to the other in terms of sweeping her opponents aside. She leads the tour in 2024 again with 42 sets won 6-0, 6-1 in 2024.
Coco Gauff is second with 34, while Zheng Qinwen is third with 29. Emma Navarro and Aryna Sabalenka round out the top five with 25 and 20. It is also a good gauge of form with Mirra Andreeva, Diana Shnaider and Danielle Collins all also in the top 10.
All of whom have been among the top players on the tour at some point or another during 2024 and despite Swiatek's travails at times, it shows that when she is on it, she is certainly still the best at hitting that top level.
Most Sets won 6-0, 6-1 in 2024
Iga Swiatek - 42
Coco Gauff - 34
Zheng Qinwen - 29
Emma Navarro - 25
Aryna Sabalenka - 20
Mirra Andreeva - 18

She also leads with most sets won exactly 6-0 in 2024 with other players including Maria Sakkari, Donna Vekic, Jasmine Paolini appearing on this list too.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
