25 incredible things Iga Swiatek achieved by winning 2025 Wimbledon

With every former champion in the draw ousted in the first week, we were guaranteed a ninth different ladies’ champion in a row at Wimbledon this year—but unlike some of the other names in that streak, the woman who eventually won it this year shouldn’t have been a surprise to anybody.

Iga Swiatek captured the sixth Grand Slam title of her career at the All England Club this year, achieving all kinds of stats along the way.

Here are just 25 of them:

She’s the only active woman to win Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces—clay, hard and grass. She's won four on clay at Roland Garros in 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024, one on hard courts at the US Open in 2022, and now her first one on grass at Wimbledon in 2025.

At 24, she’s the youngest woman to win majors on all three surfaces since Serena Williams. Serena was 20 when she completed her Surface Slam at Wimbledon in 2002 (on grass), having previously won the US Open in 1999 (on hard) and Roland Garros in 2002 (on clay).

She’s also the only active woman to have won three different majors. And the only one she’s missing in her collection, the Australian Open, is only six months away… is a Career Slam on the horizon?

She now has the standalone fourth-most Grand Slam titles for a woman this century. She breaks a tie with Maria Sharapova, who won five, and now only trails Serena (who won 22 of her 23 this century), Venus Williams (who won seven) and Justine Henin (who also won seven).

Having won the juniors in 2018, she’s just the fourth woman in the Open Era to win both the girls’ and ladies’ titles at Wimbledon. She joins Martina Hingis (1994 and 1997), Amelie Mauresmo (1996 and 2006) and Ashleigh Barty (2011 and 2021) on that very exclusive list.

She’s now won at least one major a year for the last four years in a row, 2022 to 2025, the only woman to do that. The only other active woman to win majors any four years in a row is Naomi Osaka, in 2018 (US Open), 2019 (Australian Open), 2020 (US Open) and 2021 (Australian Open).

She’s the first Polish player, male or female, to win Wimbledon in the Open Era. Agnieszka Radwanska came close to doing it in 2012, reaching the final before finishing runner-up to Serena in three sets.

Now, some things Swiatek achieved with her blistering performances in the last two rounds—a 6-2, 6-0 victory over Belinda Bencic in the semifinals and a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Amanda Anisimova in the final.

She’s now 6-0 in her career in Grand Slam finals. She’s the first woman to win her first six major finals since Monica Seles, who won her first six, too, between Roland Garros in 1990 and Roland Garros in 1992.

She’s just the second woman in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam final by a 6-0, 6-0 scoreline. The first was Steffi Graf, who defeated Natasha Zvereva in the 1988 Roland Garros final without dropping a game, either.

She’s the first woman in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam title by finishing off with three straight 6-0 sets. Graf beat Gabriela Sabatini, 6-3, 7-6, in the semifinals of Roland Garros before her win over Zvereva.

She dropped the fewest combined games (two) in the semis and final of a major for a woman in the Open Era. Martina Navratilova held the previous record of five in the last two rounds at Wimbledon in 1983.

She also dropped the fewest combined games to win the entire tournament (35) for a woman at Wimbledon this century. It’s the fewest since Navratilova dropped just 29 en route to the 1990 title.

Her victory in the final was her 100th career win at a major. It was just her 120th career match at a major, too, making her the fastest woman to achieve that feat since Serena, who did it in her 116th.

She’s also the second player in the Open Era, male or female, to record their 100th career win at a major in a final. Andy Murray is the only other one to do that, with his win over Novak Djokovic in the 2012 US Open final.

And the list of accomplishments goes on and on…

She’s now 19-3 on grass since the start of 2023. She was 10-1 in 2025.

She’s now 23-5 in her career in tour-level finals. With 23, she has the most tour-level titles for any player born in the 2000s, male or female. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are next with 21 and 20, respectively.

She’s now 36-1 this year after winning the first set. That includes winning her last 28 matches in a row from a set up, her last loss being a 5-7, 6-1, 7-6 (8) defeat to Madison Keys in the Australian Open semifinals.

And in the only set she lost at Wimbledon this year, she was 4-1 up. That came against Caty McNally in the second round. After dropping the first set of that match, she jumped out to early leads in the next two sets—3-0 in the second set, 5-0 in the third set—en route to a 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 victory.

Her quarterfinal victory over Liudmila Samsonova was her 40th win of the year. And with her semifinal and final wins, she left Wimbledon with a 42-11 record on the year. She’s just the second woman to surpass 40 wins this year, after Aryna Sabalenka, who left Wimbledon 47-9 on the year.

She’s now had 40 or more wins a year for the last four years in a row, from 2022 to 2025. She’s the only woman to do that. Elena Rybakina could join her if she reaches 40 this year (the Kazakh is currently 31-13).

That quarterfinal win also put her through to the semifinals of Wimbledon for the first time, making her the first woman born in the 2000s to reach the semifinals or better at every Grand Slam. Only one man born in the 2000s, Sinner, has done that—Alcaraz is missing the Australian Open.

After dropping from No. 2 to No. 8 after the clay-court season, she’s now gone from No. 8 to No. 3 after the grass-court season. She rose from No. 8 to No. 4 after reaching her first grass-court final in Bad Homburg, and from No. 4 to No. 3 after her first grass-court title at Wimbledon.

She’s only 856 ranking points behind No. 2 Coco Gauff now, too. That gap was 2,956 points before Wimbledon (7,899 to 4,943) and it’s now 856 (7,669 to 6,813). That’s an enormous 2,100-point swing.

She also went from third place to second place on the year-to-date race. Sabalenka already qualified for the WTA Finals by reaching the semifinals at Wimbledon. Swiatek is currently next in line…

And finally, she now has no titles—or even finals, not counting team events—to defend until the grass-court season next year. Until then, Swiatek will only be defending a maximum of quarterfinal or semifinal points at every single event she plays. With Sabalenka defending so much now, could this be the beginning of a reascension to No. 1?
