The Wimbledon women's singles championship will culminate with the grand finale at the All England Club on Saturday with a new name set to be etched onto the gilded Venus Rosewater Dish for the eighth successive year.

It’s Iga Świątek, the five-time Grand Slam champion who spent 125 weeks as the world No. 1 between early 2022 and late 2024. She’s the No. 8 seed at Wimbledon, but she’s actually the world No. 4. Only four players are left in the draw now, and she is one of them — for the first time.

With no completely dominant figure since Serena Williams retired after the 2022 US Open, there is more room for new faces.
