This streak surpasses Serena Williams’ record of 34 straight wins, a feat the tennis legend accomplished in 2013.
In a recent interview, the 21-year-old Polish sensation expressed mixed feelings about breaking Serena’s record. “It wasn’t my intention,” Świątek admitted. “I felt like I didn’t have complete control over that, so I didn’t want it to be my goal.”
Despite her modesty, Świątek recognized the magnitude of her achievement, stating, “Doing something better than Serena… it’s the best thing you can get in tennis after what she’s done for so many years.”
Preparing for Wimbledon
As Wimbledon approaches, Świątek is shifting her focus away from her winning streak and onto adapting her game to grass courts—a surface she considers her weakest.
“My purpose is to play the game and give my best, not to maintain the streak,” she said. Her immediate goal is to get through the early rounds of the tournament, which promises to be a significant test of her adaptability and resilience.
Serena Williams’ Reaction
Serena Williams, who has been away from the court for over a year due to injury, has not directly addressed Świątek’s record. However, a recent Instagram post hints at her determination to return with a vengeance.
Captioning an image with “SW and SW19. It’s a date. 2022. See you there. Let’s go,” Williams confirmed her participation in Wimbledon, signaling her readiness to compete at the highest level once again.
A Rivalry Brewing
Świątek responded enthusiastically to Williams’ post, saying, “What news! See you there.” Fans are now eagerly anticipating a potential clash between the two champions, with Wimbledon shaping up to be an electrifying event.
Looking Ahead
While Świątek’s streak has cemented her place among tennis greats, her humility and respect for Williams underscore the camaraderie in the sport.
Whether the young star continues her dominance or Serena reclaims her throne, one thing is certain: the tennis world is in for a thrilling season.
