• FOR THE WEEK OF JunE 5 - 11, 2023 • YOuR WEEKLY GuIDE TO TV EnTERTAInMEnT William Shatner in "Stars on Mars" Going into the 2023 French Open, it's clear that 21-year-old Iga Swiatek has taken the tennis world by storm, rewriting history and quickly establish- ing herself as a fan favorite. Born May 31, 2001, in Warsaw, Poland, Swiatek's first taste of Grand Slam success came in October 2020 when she won the prestigious French Open title. It wasn't just the victory that was impressive — it was how she did it, and whom she did it against. Entering the tournament, Swiatek was ranked No. 54. Using her ag- gressive style and fearless approach, she defeated world No. 19 Marketa Vondrousova in the opening round, and followed it up in the fourth round by defeating world No. 2 Simona Halep, who was on a 17-match winning streak and was favored to win the tournament. Reaching the final, Swiatek defeated No. 6 Sofia Kenin, becoming the first Polish player, male or female, to win a Grand Slam singles title, and the lowest-ranked singles champion in French Open history. Coming off a successful 2021 campaign that saw her enter the top 15 for the first time (she finished the season seeded at No. 4), she reached the semifinals at both the 2022 Adelaide International and 2022 Australian Open before winning the next six tournaments in a row. She finished the season with a won-lost record of 67-9, making it the most wins in a single season since Serena Williams accomplished the feat in 2013. In 2023, she continues to impress with her outstanding performances on the court. Having established herself as one of the top-ranked female players (and the clay-court queen), she won the WTA Qatar Open 500 in February, successfully defending her title against American Jessica Pegula in the final in straight sets.
