World number one Iga Swiatek has revealed her passion for cars and stated that she cannot wait to have another Porsche in her garage. The 22-year-old is regarded as the best player currently playing in the women’s singles category, having won as many as four Grand Slam titles so early in her career.

Swiatek was recently quoted in a report where she revealed that she has a passion for cars and she cannot wait to have a Porsche in her garage even if there is no space for it currently. "I have more cars but yeah there's always space for Porsche,” she said. “If not, we'll make it, I'll build an underground garage. It's a nice problem to have so I’ll be working hard to just play as well as possible here.” Interestingly, the Polish tennis star already has two Porsche in her garage which she got after winning the Stuttgart Open twice in 2022 and 2023.

Swiatek booked her place in the quarterfinal after beating Elise Mertens of Belgium in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-4. That win set her up for a last-eight clash against Britain’s Emma Raducanu. Talking about it, the number-one ranked player stated that she is not thinking about the tournament’s final already and is taking one match at a time. "It's still a long way to the final, even to the semifinals,” she said. “So I wanna take it step by step and this isn't an easy tournament. Everybody is really motivated to win that car so I'll take it step by step.”
