"It would be easier for me to win this than Wimbledon": Iga Swiatek reveals next Grand Slam she is setting her sights on
WTASaturday, 25 November 2023 at 11:30
Poland’s Iga Swiatek has revealed that she would target winning the Australian Open in
2024. The 22-year-old is a four-time Grand Slam winner but surprisingly she has
never lifted the title in Melbourne.
Swiatek, while responding to a question on her social media
platform account Instagram, stated that her objective in 2024 is to win the
Australian Open as she believes it will be easier to win the competition than Wimbledon.
“Australian Open not only because it’s the first one but I
have a feeling my game suits the that court and it would be easier for me to
win this than Wimbledon,” she said.
The world number one’s best outing while playing at the
Australian Open came in 2022 when she lost the semifinal of the competition to America’s
Danielle Collins in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-1.
Swiatek ended the season on a high as she lifted the WTA Finals
title after beating America’s Jessica Pegula with a score of 6-1, 6-0. That victory
was enough to help the Warsaw-born to finish 2023 as the number one-ranked
player in the world.
Swiatek had a mixed year at the highest level. The highlight
of the year for her was winning the French Open where she defeated Karolína
Muchova of the Czech Republic in the final with a score of 6–2, 5–7, 6–4.

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
- Looks like tennis has become a part of the American Oligarchy. As usual, Pegula is given a cupcake draw. With all her money, they have to fixed the draws in her favor in order to raised the trophy.crissy09-09-2026

mandoist08-09-2026 - Don't lay this shitshow on "Americans". It is a long-running Ego trip with WTA allowing these two Elitists 'in need of a Camera' illicit Wildcards. If these two clowns want to "perform" -- then play the qualies.mandoist08-09-2026

- One of the most amazing comebacks in a long, long time. It happens (and Keys shouldn't lose her crackers over this). If Madison starts playing Dress-up and walking out on court like some fantasy character with a Mental Problem... then she should really start worrying!mandoist06-09-2026
