As Wimbledon 2024 kicks off, the spotlight is on WTA World No.1, Iga Świątek. Known for her dominance on clay and hard courts, Świątek enters uncharted territory on the grass courts of London without prior preparation this season.
Iga Świątek’s journey begins with a challenging opening match against American Sofia Kenin, the 2020 Australian Open champion, currently ranked 48th in the world. Her path only intensifies from there, with potential clashes against formidable opponents. By the fourth round, she could face Jelena Ostapenko, known for her aggressive play style. The quarterfinals might pit her against Czech player Marketa Vondrousova, the defending Wimbledon champion, or other strong contenders like Beatriz Haddad Maia, Barbora Krejcikova, and Danielle Collins.
Her half of the draw includes top-tier players such as Elena Rybakina, Ons Jabeur, Jessica Pegula, and Ludmila Samsonova, any of whom could challenge her for a spot in the final. Should Świątek navigate these hurdles successfully, she might face top contenders like Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Jasmine Paolini, Maria Sakkari, or Qinwen Zheng in the championship match.
