Iga Swiatek evaluates her 2025 WTA campaign: "Season was like with most ups and downs"

Iga Swiatek wrapped up her 2025 WTA season with a candid reflection on her year — one that tested her resilience yet reaffirmed her standing among tennis’ elite. Despite the highs of winning her first Wimbledon title and triumphs in Cincinnati and Seoul, the Polish star admitted the journey was far from smooth sailing.

A season of highs and lows

When asked to evaluate her season, Swiatek offered an honest assessment of the challenges and triumphs that defined her year.

“Well, probably season was like with most ups and downs in terms of the results. Sometimes, how I felt playing tournaments. I think I learned a lot, even though you could feel that I'm, like, already an experienced player, I had some challenges this year that really were kind of new, and I needed to adjust them a little bit more,” she said.

Iga Swiatek, who continues to juggle the pressures of being one of the sport’s top performers, admitted that 2025 felt like a turning point in her career — both mentally and professionally.

Maturity and perspective

Swiatek revealed that this season marked the first time she didn’t feel like the young prodigy she once was.
“Also, I think it was the first year when I didn't feel like I'm still young (smiling). That was also a different feeling,” she shared.

Her Wimbledon triumph stood out as the defining moment of her campaign, a victory that carried both personal and professional significance. “Overall, I think winning Wimbledon made this season already super special and amazing. I would just put it over anything else, I would say.”

Closing strong

As she reflected on her late-season performances, Iga Swiatek highlighted her ability to regain freedom and flow in her game, particularly during tournaments in Cincinnati and Seoul.

“Then playing great in Cincinnati and winning Seoul as well. I was happy to play these tournaments, feel free with my game. It was a tricky season, but at the end, I can say a good one,” she concluded.

With 2025 behind her, Swiatek enters the next season with lessons learned, renewed confidence, and an unwavering drive to stay at the top of women’s tennis.
