Iga Swiatek crowned 'Baker of the Year' for 2024 WTA season ahead of Coco Gauff and Zheng Qinwen

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.
