Iga Swiatek leads the WTA in wins against top 10 players since her ascension on tour

Polish tennis star Iga Swiatek has been one of the most dominant players on the WTA Tour over the last few years, and her record against her fellow top-ranked players proves she remains the player to beat.

Swiatek suffered a setback at the ongoing Qatar Open, where she is the three-time defending champion. The former World No.1 faced familiar foe Jelena Ostapenko, who has never lost to the Polish superstar. In true form, the Latvian player kept her impressive streak alive, scoring a dominant 6-3 6-1 win over the defending champion.
