Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Warsaw, Iga followed her older sister into tennis because she wanted to beat her. Sport was already part of the family: her father, Tomasz, competed in rowing at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
The breakthrough.
After winning the Wimbledon junior singles title in 2018, Iga broke through at Roland-Garros in 2020. Unseeded and aged 19, she beat Sofia Kenin in the final without dropping a set all tournament, becoming Poland’s first Grand Slam singles champion.
Building her career.
Iga became the first Polish singles world No. 1 in April 2022. Her major titles span four wins at Roland-Garros, the 2022 US Open and Wimbledon in 2025. She also won the 2023 WTA Finals and a singles bronze medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Away from matches.
Books are part of life on tour: Iga reads while travelling and waiting for matches, and ran a Read with Iga challenge on Instagram in 2023. Her foundation, established in July 2025, supports young people through sport and education.
