While the grass may not be her most comfortable surface, her game is developing and improving at a rapid pace, indicating that we can anticipate seeing her make a deep run into the second week of tournaments.

Iga Swiatek

Since her meteoric rise, the world number 1 has dominated the WTA tour, establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with. At 2024's Wimbledon, she made it to the third round, losing to Yulia Putintseva.
