The 2023 Iga Świątek tennis season officially began on 31 December 2022 as the start of the 2023 WTA Tour.[2] Iga Świątek entered the season as the world number 1 player in singles for the first time in her career.[3]

Season summary

Early hard court season

Świątek started 2023 as only the fourth woman in WTA history to be ranked world No. 1 for 40 or more consecutive weeks in their first stint as the top-ranked player.[4] In her first tournament of the year representing Poland at the United Cup in Brisbane, Świątek defeated Yulia Putintseva, Belinda Bencic and Martina Trevisan on the way to the semifinals where she lost to Jessica Pegula in straight sets.[5] At the 2023 Australian Open, the top seeded Świątek reached the fourth round after winning against Jule Niemeier, Camila Osorio and Cristina Bucșa. In the fourth round she was defeated by reigning Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina in straight sets.[6]

Middle East tournament and Sunshine Double

In February 2023, Świątek successfully defended her title at the WTA 500 Qatar Ladies Open when she defeated Jessica Pegula in the final in straight sets. This was her first title of the year and the twelfth of her career. She did not drop a set throughout the tournament and only lost five games.[7] At the Dubai Championships, she defeated Leylah Fernandez, 14th seed Liudmila Samsonova, Karolína Plíšková (by walkover) and fifth seed Coco Gauff, all matches in straight sets with only nine games lost, to reach the final.[8] She lost to Barbora Krejčíková in straight sets, ending her six match winning streak.[9]

On 13 March she reached her 50th consecutive week at world No. 1.[10][11] At the Indian Wells Open she defeated Bianca Andreescu and Emma Raducanu in rounds three and four, both in straight sets.[12][13][14] However, she lost once again to Elena Rybakina in the semifinals, preventing Świątek from defending her Indian Wells title. [15] Due to a rib injury suffered during the Indian Wells event, Świątek withdrew from the 2023 Miami Open, which also prevented her from defending her Miami Open title.[16]

Mid-year clay season

At the Stuttgart Open in April, Świątek entered the tournament as the defending champion. She reached her third WTA final of the season by defeating Zheng Qinwen, Karolína Plíšková and Ons Jabeur (retired). In the final, she defeated world No. 2, Aryna Sabalenka, in straight sets in claiming her 13th career singles title.[17] At the Madrid Open she reached the quarterfinals for the first time at this tournament defeating 16th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova. [18] In the finals, she lost to Aryna Sabalenka in a rematch of the 2023 Stuttgart Open. [19]

Świątek defeated Karolína Muchová to win her third French Open title in 2023.

In May, Świątek entered the Italian Open as the defending champion. In the second round, she doubled-bageled Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova before defeating Lesia Tsurenko and Donna Vekić in the following rounds. In the quarterfinals, she faced Elena Rybakina and was forced to retire in the third set after sustaining a right thigh injury.[20] At the French Open, Świątek reached her fourth major final without dropping a set. She won her third French Open and fourth major title overall, defeating Karolína Muchová in three sets in the final.[21][22] She also became the first woman to defend the title since Justine Henin in 2007.[23]

Grass court season and home event

At the Wimbledon, Świątek reached her first ever quarterfinal at the tournament after eliminating Zhu Lin, Sara Sorribes Tormo, Petra Martić and Belinda Bencic. In the quarterfinal, she lost to Elina Svitolina in three sets,[24] which ended her 14-match win streak.[25]

In July, Swiatek competed in the Poland Open and reached the final after achieving victories over Nigina Abduraimova,[26] Claire Liu, Linda Nosková and Yanina Wickmayer. In the final, she defeated Laura Siegemund claiming her first WTA 250 title and 15th overall.[27][28][29]

US Open series

In preparation for the Canadian Open, Świątek was seen practicing with her mouth taped shut. She explained that this was a breathing exercise she did to improve endurance.[30] She reached the semifinals at the event losing to Jessica Pegula, in three sets.[31]

At the Cincinnati Open, Świątek defeated Danielle Collins, Zheng Qinwen, and the reigning Wimbledon champion, Markéta Vondroušová, before being upset for the first time by Coco Gauff in the semifinals.[32][33]

Świątek at the 2023 US Open.

At the US Open, Świątek began her title defense with convincing victories in the first three rounds. However, in the fourth round she was upset by 20th seed Jeļena Ostapenko, in three sets, and consequently ceded the world No. 1 ranking to Aryna Sabalenka, ending her 75-week streak in the top position.[34] Świątek’s 75-week reign at No.1 is the third-longest streak among players in their first stint as the top player behind only Steffi Graf and Martina Hingis.[35] On 25 September, Świątek began her 100th consecutive week in the top 10 of WTA ranking becoming the second Pole (after Agnieszka Radwańska) to achieve this milestone.[36]

Closing tournaments

She reached her third WTA 1000 final and seventh overall for the season at the China Open, defeating third seed Coco Gauff ending her 16-match win streak.[37] She won her fifth title of the season and 16th overall with a straight sets win over Liudmila Samsonova.[38]

She won the 2023 WTA Finals defeating Jessica Pegula in straight sets in under an hour and returned to year-end World No. 1 for a second consecutive year. It was her 68th match win of the season. She became the first woman since Serena Williams in 2012 to win the title without dropping a set.[39][40][41]
