World no.1 Iga Swiatek has been sensational this year as she won six consecutive tournaments, including the French Open title recently. Earlier, she showed her dominant display in the French Open and won the final pretty easily. Notably, she defeated the American Coco Gauff in the final to win her second Grand Slam title.
After a successful clay-court season, the Pol was looking forward to dominating the grass court as well. Unfortunately, Swiatek suffered an injury setback that could jeopardize her participation in Wimbledon 2022.
