Iga Swiatek has officially had enough of the chatter. The World No. 1 didn’t just return serve—she launched a full-court forehand straight into the face of recent criticisms aimed at the WTA’s so-called “lack of consistency.” Amid the chaos of surprise exits and underdog upsets at Wimbledon 2025, Swiatek is setting the record straight in the most Iga way possible: calm, confident, and backed by cold, hard facts.
Speaking to reporters after her latest match on Centre Court, Swiatek was asked—again—about the ongoing narrative that the women’s game lacks stable dominance, especially compared to the golden age of Big Three consistency on the ATP side. But this time, Swiatek didn’t just brush it off.
“Honestly, I think it’s a lazy narrative,” she said, visibly unamused. “Me, Aryna [Sabalenka], and Coco [Gauff] have been winning a lot. We’ve been in the latter stages of every Slam. Just because there are surprises doesn’t mean we’re not consistent.”
Mic. Dropped.
And she’s not wrong. Swiatek herself has captured multiple Slams in the last two years, maintained the top ranking, and continues to be a brick wall of baseline brilliance. Aryna Sabalenka? She’s lifted Grand Slam trophies, dominated the hardcourt swing, and been a near-permanent fixture in the top three. Coco Gauff? The 2023 US Open champ has only leveled up since, becoming a force across all surfaces and bringing that Gen Z swagger with her.
But this Wimbledon has been, well, Wimbledon — and that means chaos. Big names have dropped like flies in early rounds, and fresh faces are making Cinderella runs that send tabloids and Twitter into a frenzy. Yet Swiatek’s point is simple: unpredictability isn’t inconsistency. It’s depth.
“This isn’t the 2010s anymore,” one fan posted after Swiatek’s quote made its way to social media. “Women’s tennis is STACKED. Iga’s just saying what we’ve all been thinking.”
Even fellow players chimed in with support, subtly co-signing her message. The vibe? Enough with the comparisons. The WTA doesn’t need a Novak-Djokovic-style monopoly to be respected.
Swiatek’s comments signal a turning point—not just for her PR game, but for the way the women’s tour wants to be seen. Competitive, compelling, and yes, consistent. Just with a side of unpredictability that makes every Slam appointment viewing.
So next time someone questions the “stability” of women’s tennis, they might want to check the scoreboard. Because Iga, Aryna, and Coco? They’re winning. A lot.
