It’s Iga Świątek, the five-time Grand Slam champion who spent 125 weeks as the world No. 1 between early 2022 and late 2024. She’s the No. 8 seed at Wimbledon, but she’s actually the world No. 4. Only three of the top seven players in the world are left in the draw.

Danielle Collins temporarily forgot the rules of tennis in a comical moment against Iga Swiatek on Saturday. The American, while preparing to face down a serve from the Pole, seemed to be the only person inside Centre Court who did not realise she had made a mistake.

Iga Swiatek may not love the grass but relishes a battle whatever the surface and showed all that fight and bullish determination as she recovered to beat American Caty McNally 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 and reach the Wimbledon third round on Thursday.
