Several hours have passed since Iga Swiatek first lifted the trophy, and she continues to struggle to fully process all that has happened in the past fortnight. Two weeks filled with surprises concluded with the Polish player conquering Wimbledon 2025, her first triumph at the British Grand Slam.

The current world number three experienced the champions' dinner for the first time, including dancing alongside Jannik Sinner, a new experience that, beyond the anecdotes, serves as a turning point. With this victory, Iga demonstrated that she is still there, ready to fight for major titles.

Her success at Wimbledon

"The more time I have, the more I appreciate the title. Obviously, there were many emotions yesterday, but now I can reflect on everything that has happened. It's incredible. I went all in. I just needed to be brave with my decisions on the court. In previous years, I tried to play more like on clay. I kept spinning the ball as much as possible, which didn't help much because it bounced higher, and opponents played from above.

This year, I decided that I was going to use more of my intuition, react to what grass brought me. I played flatter, and I think it was the best decision. I was more aggressive in the early points of the rally, which puts a lot of pressure on my opponents," Swiatek said in an interview with the official WTA.

Adjustments that led to her triumph

"Overall, we worked a lot on my forehand and serve. I think the serve, from the beginning, since we started working together, was the main key. We did it a bit and it worked at the Australian Open. On grass, we knew it would be crucial. These two things, obviously, and the movement, not sliding as much as on other surfaces."

On her bakery: ring after ring

"Honestly, in the last match, I tried not to focus on the score. The main goal was to keep working, not taking anything for granted. When you're winning, it's easy to ease off. I focused on every point.

You never know what's going to happen in the future, but for sure, this title has surprised me. I have to say that winning Wimbledon was the last on my wish list because I thought it would be the hardest, the most complicated. It means I always have to believe, because if I can adapt my game to grass, I think anything is possible."
