After a sensational season on the WTA Tour, Iga Swiatek has been named the 2022 ITF World Champion in women's singles.

Iga Swiatek has won eight titles, won two Grand Slam tournaments, and went on a 37-match winning run during the first half of 2022. Thanks to that, she deserved to be crowned the ITF World Champion in 2022, making her the first Polish woman receive this award.

The 21-year-old, who will be the player to beat next year after a spectacular 2022 campaign, is the second Pole to win an ITF World Champion title in any category after Lukasz Kubot, who won the men's doubles honour in 2017.

“This was a big year for me, and such significant awards show me how far I've come,” said Swiatek. “I appreciate it and I want to thank the ITF. It wouldn’t have happened without my team, my family, and my fans from Poland and all over the world. Consider it our joint award for amazing adventures on court in 2022.”
