Iga Swiatek may have had a difficult year at times and didn’t achieve the outcomes she had hoped for, but she is making an effort to be grateful for everything that happened to her this season, both good and bad, and to look forward to the challenges that lie ahead.
In terms of her accomplishments, Swiatek took home five titles this year, but her greatest triumph occurred during the clay season when she advanced to the French Open and Madrid Rome. Early in the season, she also had successful runs at Indian Wells and Doha.
The Polish sports star, who has already topped the world No. 1 spot seven times in her career with 125 weeks at the top, spent more than 100 weeks there this year. She also guided Poland to their first semifinal in the Billie Jean King Cup.
It was still a fantastic season on paper. However, given Aryna Sabalenka’s recent success and form, it seems as though the Belarusian has surpassed Swiatek as the world’s best player.
She recently talked about her 2024 season and said: “Thanks for this season. First and foremost, I’m thanking myself and my team because it was another extraordinary year. It was the season of not being a superhero and accepting it, facing new challenges, grinding, hard work, appreciating milestones and unlocking new achievements.”
She added: “But what’s fundamental is that I finish this year with huge satisfaction and pride in my grit, strength and everything that I’ve done and achieved, which says more than any words. It’s time to rest and reset. My body and mind need that. Thank you to every kind and supportive human being who is by my side in this journey. See you soon.”
