Iga Swiatek ended the season as the world number two after winning three titles in 2025, including her first Wimbledon crown.

Swiatek ended her season at the Billie Jean King Cup, where Poland finished runners up in their group to Ukraine.

The Pole had an inconsistent season, which saw her crash out of the Australian Open at the quarter-final stage and suffer a shock loss to Aryna Sabalenka at Roland Garros.

Swiatek‘s sixth season on the WTA Tour has now come to an end and it’s seen her strangely emulate Serena Williams.

Swiatek ending her season with 25 titles and six Grand Slams is, bizarrely, exactly what Williams managed after six seasons on the WTA Tour.

Williams had won the US Open twice, the Australian Open twice, and Wimbledon twice after six seasons on the WTA Tour.

The American had also won a WTA Finals crown, as well as six Masters titles and an Olympic gold medal in 2000.

Iga Swiatek described her relationship with Serena Williams as ‘tough’

It’s especially interesting that Swiatek has emulated Williams as the Pole has previously described the awkwardness of their relationship.

Speaking at the Cincinnati Open in 2022, Swiatek revealed: “I have a hard time catching eye contact with Serena. It’s tough because she always had so many people around her, and I’m pretty shy.

“When I look at her, I suddenly kind of forget that I’m here as the world number one. I see Serena, and it’s like, wow, Serena, you know? I feel like I’m the kid from kindergarten just looking at her, so it’s tough.”

The pair never met on the WTA Tour, although they did briefly overlap as active players in the early 2020s.
