Iga Swiatek bid goodbye to the 2024 season with a heartwarming note and a picture series featuring Taylor Swift, a testament to her successful run this year. Swiatek recently came off a loss in the group stages of the 2024 WTA Finals, as she lost to Coco Gauff, who eventually clinched the title.
Swiatek, 23, started her season strong with her seventh WTA 1000 title win at the Qatar Ladies Open. After this feat, she became the first person to win three consecutive titles at the same hardcourt tournament since Serena Williams in 2015. The Pole then lifted the Indian Wells Open title for a second time and continued her excellence at the Miami Open, Madrid Open, and the Italian Open.
Swiatek followed up her wins with her third French title win at the 2024 French Open, becoming the second female tennis player after Serena Williams to win the Madrid Open, the Italian Open, and the French Open in the same season since 2013.
Despite missing pole podiums in the following tournaments, including the US Open, Iga Swiatek penned a heartfelt note of gratitude for a successful season and paired it up with a photo carousel. Her caption read:
“Thanks for this season. First and foremost I’m thanking myself and my team because it was another extraordinary year. It was the season of not being a superhero and accepting it, facing new challenges, grinding, hard work, appreciating milestones and unlocking new achievements. But what’s fundamental, I finish this year with huge satisfaction and pride of my grit, strength and everything that I’ve done and achieved which says more than any words. It’s time to rest and reset. My body and mind need that. Thank you to every kind and supportive human being who is by my side in this journey. See you soon.”
