The 2024 Iga Świątek tennis season officially began on 30 December 2023 as the start of the 2024 WTA Tour.[1] Iga Świątek entered the season as the world number 1 player in singles for the second year in a row in her career.[2]

Yearly summary[edit]

Early hard court season[edit]

Świątek represented Team Poland in the United Cup. Poland was drawn into Group A along with Team Spain and Team Brazil. Świątek won both of her group stage singles matches by defeating Beatriz Haddad Maia and Sara Sorribes Tormo.[3] She also won both of her doubles matches alongside Hubert Hurkacz, including a win against the Spanish team without dropping a single game.[4] She then went on to defeat Zheng Qinwen and Caroline Garcia in the quarterfinals[5] and the semifinals[6] of the event, respectively. Despite giving Poland a lead after winning her singles match against german Angelique Kerber, she playing with Hurkacz, lost their doubles match to the pair of Kerber and Alexander Zverev, therefore losing the United Cup final.[7]

Świątek entered the Australian Open as no. 1 seeded player, eight grand slam in a row. She recorded wins against the 2020 champion, Sofia Kenin and runner up of 2022 edition, Danielle Collins in the first and second round, respectively.[8][9] In the third round, she was upset by Linda Nosková in three sets and as a result of this loss her 18 match winning streak came to an end which started in September 2023.[10] This marked the earliest loss by a top seed at the Australian Open since 1979,[11] and the first time that the top seed failed to make the round of 16 since the tournament became a 128-player draw in 1988.[12]

In February, Świątek entered the Qatar Open as a two-time defending champion. She reached the final after having defeated Sorana Cîrstea, Ekaterina Alexandrova and Viktoria Azarenka. In the final, she faced Elena Rybakina winning in straight sets and claiming her 7th WTA 1000 title. Świątek did not drop a set en route to the title for the second consecutive year. She also became the first person to win three consecutive titles in Doha and the first player to win three consecutive titles at the same hardcourt tournament since Serena Williams in 2015.[13][14]

In March, Świątek won the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells for the second time, defeating Maria Sakkari in the final.[15] This was her second title of the season and 19th overall.[16] In Miami, she recorded her 100th WTA 1000 career match win defeating Camila Giorgi in one hour, in straight sets.[17]

Clay Season[edit]

In April, Świątek entered the Stuttgart Open as a two-time defending champion and reached the semifinal where she lost to Elena Rybakina in three sets,[18] which ended her 10-match winning streak in the tournament.[19] In the same month, she entered her 100th week as the reigning world No. 1 surpassing Lindsay Davenport and moving to the ninth place in the all-time table.[20][21] At the Madrid Open, she reached the final where she faced the defending champion and 2nd seed Aryna Sabalenka. Świątek played the longest match against Sabalenka in her career thus far, which lasted over three hours. She defended three championship points in the third set and won her 20th career title,[22] becoming the joint-most successful Polish tennis player in terms of the number of titles won alongside Agnieszka Radwańska.[23][24] At the next WTA 1000, the Italian Open, she reached a second consecutive final with a win over world No. 3 Coco Gauff in straight sets.[25]
