In the upcoming tournaments, ¦wiątek will continue to compete on hard courts. . Świątek will fight to repeat the result from last year, when she won the entire tournament. Compared to that time, however, the rank of the competition has decreased from WTA 1000 to WTA 500 – this means that the winner will receive 470 points instead of 1000.

Soon after, the competition in Dubai will take place, where the Polish tennis player can significantly increase her achievements in the WTA ranking. First of all, last year she was eliminated in the second round (with Jelena Ostapenko), for which she received only 55 points. However, she can afford to significantly improve this result. Secondly, this year the rank of the event will increase to the WTA 1000 level, which will make it possible to win much more points.

The 21-year-old will also have to try for the best results in Indian Wells and Miami. In 2022, she won both of these tournaments, completing the so-called Sunshine Double. Just like last year, they are ranked WTA 1000 this year too, so a quick bust could be costly.

The culmination of starts on clay will be the Grand Slam Ronald Garros (May 28 – June 11). In 2022, Świątek showed great class there, in seven matches she lost only one set. This season she should also be one of the favorites for the final triumph. However, a possible slip-up will be strongly felt in the ranking, because as last year’s winner she received as many as 2000 points.
