Iga Swiatek Wins Second Consecutive WTA Player of the Year

The 22-year-old Polish tennis star becomes the first player to win the award back-to-back since Serena Williams.

Iga Swiatek, the world number one, has been named WTA Player of the Year for the second consecutive season, becoming the first player to achieve this since Serena Williams from 2012 to 2015.
Swiatek won a tour-leading six titles in 2023, including her third French Open championship and fourth overall Grand Slam title.
She ended the season with an undefeated run at the WTA Finals in Cancun, Mexico, which allowed her to regain the world number one spot from Aryna Sabalenka.
Other WTA awards recognized Zheng Qinwen as Most Improved Player, Mirra Andreeva as Newcomer of the Year, and Elina Svitolina as Comeback Player of the Year.
Tomasz Wiktorowski, who has worked with Swiatek for the last two seasons, was voted Coach of the Year.
