Wimbledon, London —
When Iga Świątek steps out on the pristine Wimbledon grass for the first time this year, she’ll be doing so as the reigning champion.
Rewind to the 2025 tournament and a laser-focused Świątek was cruising to her first title at the All England Club, a dream eventually achieved with a crushing 6-0, 6-0 win against American Amanda Anisimova in the final.
Despite now carrying the label of champion into the tournament, the six-time grand slam winner told CNN Sports that her approach hasn’t really changed at all.
“Sport is fair, so only the work that you do now and when you actually compete matters,” the 25-year-old said as she put the finishing touches to her preparation.
