If there is one thing that Iga Swiatek has always had, it's consistency. The Pole is the perfect epitome of continuity, a tennis player who rarely loses to lower-ranked opponents, especially in the early rounds. It is no coincidence that Iga had gone over four and a half years without losing in her first match at a tournament... until today, a streak that has ended at the 2026 Miami Open after falling to Magda Linette in her debut. Specifically, Swiatek had amassed 73 consecutive wins in her first match of each tournament since 2021. An absolute feat that perhaps shows the Polish player has hit her lowest point in a long time.
