The advantage she has over her pursuers continues to increase, as does her feelings of power and maturity. At 22 years old, she is on the path to having a historic career.
Two years ago on a March morning, the tennis world woke up to the news that Barty was retiring at the age of 25. The news was a shock to everyone since the Australian was the great reference on the circuit and there were weeks in which it was not clear who would succeed her at the head of the list. She ended up doing it Every Swiatek and in that bizarre and unexpected way, one of the most absolutist reigns in the history of women’s tennis began.
And no matter how much we are under her supremacy, there are clear reasons to intuit that the Pole has a challenge ahead of her to be a memorable legend of this sport. That at 22 years old she has managed to reach 100 weeks as number 1 in the WTA ranking It is impressive, and even more so if we see that he managed to establish a streak of 75 consecutive weeks, before Aryna Sabalenka dared to interfere with his monopoly. The way she regained the world title, becoming champion at the 2023 WTA Finals, showed that Iga is not only competing against others, but against history.
– Swiatek reaches 100 weeks and is ninth on a list led by Graf
She is the ninth woman of all time to reach 100 weeks at the top of the classification and the large margin she has with respect to Sabalenka and Gauff (more than 2,700 and 3,330 points, respectively), suggests that, no matter how good the results She will have to defend in the coming months, it will be difficult for anyone to dislodge her from the top. Until 377 weeks as number 1 that she treasures Steffi Graf There is a long way to go, but the maturity and consistency that he displays Every Swiatekmake it inevitable to dream of remaining in the elite and great successes to come.
