The incoming World No.1 joins Graf (1994 & 1996), Clijsters (2005) & Azarenka (2016) as the only WTA 𝙎𝙪𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝘿𝙤𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙚 winners in history by winning Miami and Indian Wells in the same year! ☀️🏆☀️🏆

Swiatek this year: ✅First time advanced to the Australian Open Semi-Finals ✅Won 26 in 29 matches this year ✅Won 17 consecutive matches ✅Joined Serena and Wozniacki as the only players to win 3 consecutive WTA 1000 events in a single year ✅Became the 4th WTA players to complete Sunshine Double (after Steffi Graf, Kim Clijster and Victoria Azarenka) ✅Became the first Polish to seal World No.1 spot She will be a true model for many young players

This is a real test to show that Swiatek is a true number 1. She passes with flying colors. Power, speed, agility, mental game, Iga is the complete package.

Iga Swiatek in the finals of the WTA 1000 tournaments: Rome 🇮🇹 - Pliskova 6-0 6-0 Doha 🇶🇦 - Kontaveit 6-2 6-0 Indian Wells 🇺🇸 - Sakkari 6-4 6-1 Miami 🇺🇸 - Osaka 6-4 6-0 LOOK at the SECOND SET !!! :)

She has reached another level this year.. more grand slams to come.. without a doubts. I mean 6-0 the second set against Osaka..great speech from her by the way

I'm awestruck by Iga's overall performance level, consistency, and tennis acumen. She's no longer the #1 by default, she's legit earned it in my book 🎾🏆

That was an outstanding match and tournament from Iga! She just won 3 WTA 1000s in four weeks! 🤯🥳

I never thought Osaka would get bagled in a championship final set. Most impressive.

I'm really liking Iga. What a truly genuine person.

Swiatek is a complete package. She’s humble with great character on and off the court - a rare sight these days. Also, She is currently dominating the womens tennis and will continue to do so.

Go Iga!!!! I called the 6-0 second set but still surprised at how well she played it. Congratulations to both ladies.

Iga. What a Champ. The way she bagels the finalists in Masters tournament is so delightful to watch. Love you champ.💪💪

Brak słów, czapki z głów!🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱

With such a grueling schedule over the last 2 months (due to her success!) and the "pressure" of being the upcoming #1, Swiatek showed no nerves here. Just an incredibly dominant win on her way to her 3rd consecutive WTA 1000 title. If anyone had any questions about whether she is #1, she certainly made a huge statement today. Hope she can finally get some well-deserved rest before her next event.

Iga is just so incredible. She’s such an inspiration!

Naomi and Iga's friendship is truly adorable. I am happy for Iga, she proves time and time again that she deserves to reign. On the other hand, I am so proud and happy as well for Naomi, she seems more mature, content, and confident in her own shoes, and don't let anything get through you girl! We love you both! Congrats!

Let's face it, Iga's level is so consistent this year. And what a smile btw.

Swiatek's level in finals is simply insane!

She has proven that she is #1 not just by the kindness of great Ashley but because she earned that. Good job!

Iga on fire! Naomi is working her way back - awesome to see her in a big final ! Awesome to see all the way round - amazing sportsmanship around!

congratulations to Iga for 3 straight masters 1000 and Naomi for returning to a finals 1000. more matches between these two wonderful athletes!😀

Swiatek is on fire, and she's ONLY 20! Wow!

I was one of the ppl skeptical after Iga won RG. I thought she was gonna be a one hit wonder like some of these recent girls who won a slam then fell off. But Iga has won 3 1000 tournaments this year and has become #1. This girl has a bright future.

Iga is in unbelievable form right now. I really hope she can keep it up for the other Masters and Slams this year, would love too see she getting one or two slams this season. If she maintains this kind of form and keep working hard and improving she'll be really unstoppable.

Iga in this form is unbeatable.

Swiatek is on another level. It's going to take an inspired player to beat her.

In this match Iga Swiatek proved why she is the best female tennis player on the planet at the moment. She didn't show any nerves and any fatigue. That second set bagel which she handed to Osaka was absolutely unbelievable. The second set ended before it even started. Prime iga Swiatek is like I said before better version of Agnieszka Radwanska. Also Iga Swiatek in past 2 years have improved so much. Two years ago in Australian Open she lost to Anett Kontaveit in three sets in third round and now she is owning Anett Kontaveit. The improvement in Iga's game is astounding. Amazing growth by Iga Swiatek. She out of nowhere became one of the lowest ranked female tennis players to become a Grand Slam champion, now she is the 4th and youngest female tennis player to acchieve the rate Sunshine Double. What an amazing and incredible tennis player Iga Swiatek is. She is such great champion and tennis player. Winning there back to back WTA 1000 level tournaments a feat only done previously by Serena Williams. Naomi Osaka didn't play bad, she played great in fact, but Iga Swiatek played on whole different level. Naomi Osaka wasn't able to match Iga Swiatek at all. She was outplayed and owned by Iga Swiatek especially in the second set. Iga Swiatek seems unbeatable right now. I don't think that even Ashleigh Barty could have won even one set against this good Iga Swiatek. Iga Swiatek is truly the best tennis player on the planet. There's no doubt about it. What a triumph. To completely destroy the 4 time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka like that, it's simply sensational. I truly didn't expect this. Iga Swiatek is awesome tennis player. She won in Qatar, won in Indiana Wells and won in Miami. Amazing triple crown for Iga Swiatek. She starting with Qatar showed why she is the best tennis player on the planet. I can't think of any tennis player who could win against Iga Swiatek. With every single match, she gets stronger and stronger.

Swiatek is finally looking like the real deal. If she continues playing like this she could be quite dominant over the coming years. A worthy new World No.1 💪

I’m from Romania and I love Simona Halep and how she achieved great things. When I was a kid in the ‘90 I was watching tennis with my father, and I really wished that Romania would have a WTA tennis player who would be there in top, to compete with anybody and even win Grand Slams. And later in time Simona Halep showed up and fullfilled this dream I had and I hope she will be back again in top and maybe even win at least another Grand Slam. But I have to say this: Iga Swiatek is on another level when she plays her best. She is so humble and skilled and I believe she can become one of the greatest in tennis history.

Iga is definitely a force to be reckon with. I wish Naomi would’ve fought more through the end, I think that this was a great tournament for both players.

Both their speeches had me tearing up; so mature and thoughtful, and gracious, and appreciative. I hope they have many more big matches against each other.

As a Pole I am really happy. I never imagined that by my lifetime to see a Polish player win a GS or be no. 1. It's 3rd Masters 1000 won final in a row. Bravo Iga Keep it up baby.❤️🥳😘

If it wasn’t for Osaka’s serve bailing her out of a couple of service games in the first set, this would have been 6-1 6-0 or 6-2 6-0. From the back of the court Iga is on another level to everyone else.

So happy she did it! Just incredible 1GA! Her game touches me deeply, every match! Beautiful words from both players after this game - real class and respect. Just.. keep going Iga, do what you do, do what you love, stay yourself & big congrats! JAZDA

Well-deserved no.1 in the ranking! 👑 At the moment, Iga is unstoppable.🏆 A real wall. 🇵🇱

The fact that Iga is more than 2000 points in front in the WTA race for the WTA finals should be extremely scary for the rest of the field considering the clay season hasn't even started yet 😂 world number 1 till the end of the year for sure 👌

Devastating gameplay from Iga in this match, she dominated Osaka after a tight first set to win and clinch the trophy. It's phenomenal how complete is this girl when you watch her playing, she always look plenty of confidence at the moment of serving, hitting and making differences with her opponents when breaking their serves. Gratulacje!! 👏👏🏆🎾 🇵🇱

I'm really happy that Iga has won, in such a dominant and assured way, both Indian Wells and Miami before becoming officially #1. I hope no one will question her legitimacy now.

By "bageling" the opponent in the second set of a one-sided quick match, Iga Swiatek became: the youngest woman ever to complete the Sunshine Double, the fourth woman ever to complete the Sunshine Double of winning Indian Wells and Miami in the same year, the first woman to win the first three WTA 1000 events of a season. Very impressive indeed and well deserved to be #1 player in the world.

Swiatek never lost her concentration and she destroyed Osaka in the second set. Great win!

Scary thing that best Iga's surface is just about to start

Iga is playing best tennis in WTA at the moment. She deservedly earned no1 spot.

There are so many wonderful things to say about Iga, but I especially admire her willingness to speak out about the war in Ukraine. In a world of 24-hour news cycles, I’m glad that she continues to bring awareness to this tragedy.

To me Swiatek has the best forehand on tour and was able to bully Osaka around from the baseline. Something very few have been able to do. It's her tour now that she reached #1 she's playing intimidating tennis.

She absolutely crushed Osaka in every phase of the game especially with that bagel in the final set. Her movement for her size was truly amazing. Should win several majors.

Osaka plays good but Iga plays fearless. Perfect games. Congrats Iga. You'll have more grandslam in the future.

Iga and Naomi could make the situation similar to Roger and Rafa: two great players pushing each other to the limits. Iga, congrats and appreciate your hard work! There is so many people proud of you! Jazda!!!

Iga is the current great champion. She has no one to threaten her now. Ash & Serena out, and Naomi continues to struggle.

Iga made Naomi look like a junior in this match. She seems to put in an extra gear in her finals and make top players look weak.

Swiatek has set the bar very high. Let's see if the other women can rise to catch her.

Congratulations to Iga : impressive victory ! I hope she will have some rest after this tournament. It would be a pity to see her injured. Congratulations also to Naomi : she is back. Even though she is not playing her best tennis. 2022 will be a great year with these two players. I wish them the best for the future. Iga deserves to be number 1. She is a good successor to the unforgettable Ashleigh.

The crowd cheering for Naomi as James talked to her. It was just beautiful… Congrats to both players! Iga is unstoppable rn 🤩

The best returning competitor in the entire tour 🚀 In my opinion, Iga can only be stopped by a decline in form or some health problem. At the moment there is no rival who could win with her in "normal" conditions. #JAZDAIGA 🔥

Brawo Iga 🇵🇱🤩🔥 jesteś najlepsza, nie bez powodu nr1. Lecisz po następne zwycięstwa

Can we just appreciate how gracious Naomi is. She’s all smiles and no bitterness whatsoever despite the loss. What I like about Iga is that she’s not just all heart (fighting spirit) but she has also lots of weapons that is unique from other players, esp her forehand, now that she can redirect it to any direction, it is becoming more deadly. Also her super-cross court backhand. She’s undefeated for how many games already? I think 16.

I love Naomi, I'm so happy she's back but Iga is another level at the moment. I admire her so much. Two amazing women, tennis is in good hands again. I've been following it for over 30 years and this makes me so happy. Go Iga!!!

JAZDA IGA! But also happy to see Naomi Osaka slowly gets back to her form. Hope Iga Stays focus, stay healthy, keeps on improving her game and her service 🤭, stay happy and stay winning! Now prepare ur self for clay season and get Rolland Garros Back, Iga!

Osaka looks in better shape now. I think her therapist is really helping her. She genuinely seems more happy now

Iga is a great player for many years to come.

You can see that she improved playing. Staying much lower on knees during hard attacks wish all the best !

Congrats to Iga and Naomi!🥳

I have so much admiration for Iga--she seems to be not only a great player but a good person. Her success makes me very happy. Her home country of Poland is going through so much because its right next door to Ukraine--I pray for Ukraine, and I pray the people of Poland will be safe.

i love how humble iga is

Congratulations Iga! You are incredible! That energy, that confidence and determination over the skills you have will give you more trophies in the future. You deserve to be #1 indeed. Naomi, you are a Rock Star! After french open drama, to missing many tournaments and heckled in Indian wells then come to the finals in Miami means your mental toughness still the best and overcomer. Overall, to me you won this championshio and you still the best! Congratulations 🎉

She's so talented. It's a pleasure to watch her tennis. You are truly champ young lady. Congrats Iga and good luck to you and your team. Poland is proud of you.

After Doha, Indian Wells and Miami, we can say it thrice: "Iga is on fire!" "Iga is on fire!" "Iga is on fire!" Only 20 years old and effectively the WTA #1. Congratulations!!!

thanks so much Iga for support for Ukraine. congratulation and good luck...

First gem of the match showed huge promises for the win for Iga. At Naomi's serve, she fought relentlessly to break right at the beginning of the match. It doesn't matter she didn't win it, it was a very good sign, that she will fight like crazy and and showed high chances for the break later on. I knew she will outmatch Naomi, but nobody could have predicted the outcome of second set. 6-0? In the finals? With Naomi? That is insane.

Iga is astonishingly good. Jesus and this was on a relatively quick hard court.... And she didn't drop a set again! Iga "The Baker" Swiatek. But Iga...please...DO NOT play Charleston. The last thing you want is to get fatigued and/or injured. You need and deserve a good rest champ!

Since Iga was 16 I have been observing the development of her talent and incredeable persistence she presented. Now is crucial mental moment for our young beautiful player 🇵🇱🏆🇵🇱 I am sure she is still growing and hope will be No. 1 for good!

Both are great players, but Iga have been incredible this year. An amazing year for the polish girl. Chapeau.

I always have great admiration and respect for people who lose so clinically in a high ranking event and still have a hug and good words for the conqueror, people who lose and still maintain a high composure of grace and dignity. And Naomi Osaka fits the bill.

Congratulations Iga Swiatek on winning Sunshine Double. You are the best tennis player on the planet. Keep going.

Congratulations to Iga. Congratulations to both of them. Good that they have each other to compete with. I just realized that "you crying" and Ukraine sound so similar. The Oscar celebrities have forgotten Ukraine, but Iga has not forgotten.

Omg... Iga, what else do we need to say. Congratulations . You're in an absolutely higher level now! Unbelievable ... Keep it up...

I've been saying it for a long time now. This young woman is special. She is going to be an all-time great if she keeps playing at this level. Keep it up Iga!!! You deserve to be the #1 player in the world! I can't wait to see all that you accomplish.

I think we will be seeing more Osaka v. Swiatek this year. Great match! Congrats Iga!

Right now only Iga can beat Iga.

Love, love these two women, and both so gracious whether winning or losing - excellent role models for young athletes!

Many Congratulations to Swiatek. So well deserved the trophy. She is a rising star, and here to stay. I wish her all the best.

Congrats Iga. I knew that she'll be a very successful tennis player since she won the French Open. Definitely she's the Steffi Graf of this era. Looking forward for more wins in the future. If Noaimi continue her form I'll be expecting them in the French Open finals.👌 👍

Well done, Iga !!! You've brought WTA up to another awesome level...tennis is so privileged to have you !!!

Her game is amazing right now, insane court coverage and powerfull strikes thatalmost never miss. If anyone deserves to be number one after Ashleigh it's Iga.

SHE'S DONE IT --*1st ever player* to win 3 opening WTA 1000s in a single year --Not only the newest Sunshine Double winner-but the *youngest ever* She's setting records everywhere, and the clay's not even here. Congrats to both her and Naomi for getting this far. This could be that steady rivalry we've wanted for years.

Iga has two assets that Naomi hasn't surpassed: ball spin, which allows you to control your shots in unusual situations, then velocity and support (on the backhand in particular). That's what made the difference; But I'm sure Naomi and many others can do the same. Iga opens a new field will greatly influence women's tennis. And congratulations to both of them for representing the sport with dignity. You are wonderful. Thanks.

worth to notice that Swiatek had more speed on backhand and forehand than Osaka with much more topsin, thats crazy

She just won the U.S. Open. She hasn't lost a finals since she was 17. She hasn't lost a set in a finals for a very long time now. She's starting to dominate and mow down players.

Thank you Iga for support Ukraine.

Brawo Igunia jesteśmy my Polacy z Ciebie bardzo dumni i trzymamy kciuki za dalsze zwycięstwa w Twojej karierze.

If someone has had any doubts, if Świątek deserves #1, now is probably certain. She deserves it. Iga doesn't lose finals. It's total domination. Osaka was terrible. Couldn't return Iga's serves (so Iga didn't face a single break point in entire match). More importantly Naomi made tons of errors and her 1st serve left her in 2nd set - it was final nail to her coffin. If Naomi's 1st serve doesn't work, she's toast against such agile and perfectly moving players like Iga. Świątek was sharp and didn't lose focus and interest like Bencicova in SF. Well done, Queen. Now go for those slams like god intended!

Osaka got issues! Swiatek is the real deal......zero let up!

lgs mentioned Ukraine means a lot, which impressed me a lot and brought more respects to her from the bottom of my heart!

Osaka service is a weapon but today wasn't Swiatek herself served way better and was better the whole match, consistent as always this year, 2nd set similar to Doha and IW, the opponent simply can't comeback against Swiatek. There's some record about bagel top players? Because Swiatek is trying that one for real 😂 congrats for her and I see she gonna play Charleston... well why not 4th title in a row? I can't see she being beaten there maybe for the tiredness

I'm happy for Iga!! Such a talented humble champion!! Hope she gets another French Open in a couple months! BTW, both her and Osaka hitting the crap out of ball and no annoying grunting and hollering( i.e. sharapova, seles.) Glad to not have to hear that mess in these finals!!

While a major CONGRATS is in order for Iga, I hope her team have a break in her schedule. She has been playing long, hard and fast and it's just April. Rest, Iga! I think the masses want to see you around for a long time!!

Incredible Iga, you are the true world number 1. Love from Indonesia...

Please rest now iga And keep being amazing Well done♥️ I ve never cared about any wta player like iga She is just phenomenal player And will beat tons and tons of records♥️

Ozaka cannot handle a non-teen, improved and matured Iga.

Congratulations, dear Iga! I believe, that you will be the first for a very long time! I ask, very ask all foreigners, please pray for Ukraine. Thank you very much for support. Best wishes for you and your families, from a citizen of Ukraine Bohdan Yanenko

A star is born
