Three-time grand slam champion Iga Swiatek was officially named WTA's Player of the Year this year after a historic season.
Her season began in Adelaide, where she displayed incredible tennis to advance to the semifinals before losing to Barty. In Melbourne, there was another semifinal, but this time, Collins came out on top. Her subsequent defeat occurred in Dubai, where she turned in her poorest performance of the year losing to Ostapenko in three.
A good rebound followed in Doha the following week as she won her first trophy of the year with the Sunshine double coming after that. She extended her winning streak two more matches in the Billie Jean King Cup and then added 16 more on the clay winning Roland Garros in the process.
She had a strong comeback the following week in Doha, where she took home her first trophy of the year. It was followed by the Sunshine Double. She earned two more wins to her winning streak in the Billie Jean King Cup before adding 16 more on clay winning Roland Garros in the meantime.
Her 37-match winning streak was broken at Wimbledon when giant-killer Cornet defeated her. Although the rest of the year was less successful, she won the US Open, making up for the few losses she endured. 67 victories overall, only 9 defeats.
A pretty compelling case for the WTA Player of the Year which she got today.
