Swiatek equals Goolagong as 10th player with highest winning percentage in Grand Slam tournaments in the Open Era
WTASaturday, 08 July 2023 at 08:00
World number one Iga Swiatek has achieved yet another milestone as she became the 10th player with the highest winning percentage in Grand Slam events in the Open Era.
The 22-year-old has been in sublime form in the recent past as she has won four major titles in women’s singles since 2020.
It is because of this reason the Polish tennis star is now 10th in the list of women’s singles players, along with former world number one Australia’s Evonne Goolagong Cawley, with the highest win percentage in Grand Slam events in the Open Era of 83.1 percent.
Swiatek’s three major titles win came in French Open whereas one came in the US Open last year. Her most recent triumph was at Roland Garros earlier this year where she defeated Czech Republic’s Karolína Muchova in the final with a score of 6–2, 5–7, 6–4.
Despite her achievements while playing at Grand Slams, the record of the Warsaw-born at Wimbledon remains pretty average as this remains the only major tournament where she is yet to play beyond the fourth round.
She has now equalled her best-ever outing while playing in London as she qualified for the round of 16 of the competition after beating Croatia’s Petra Martic on Thursday.
The last time when Swiatek played at this stage in Wimbledon, she ended up losing to the 2022 finalist Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur with a score of 5-7, 6-1, 6-1.
Therefore, the reigning French Open champion will be hoping to put a much better show and finally cement her place in the last-eight when she will face Switzerland’s Belinda Bencic round of 16 clash on Saturday.
