Wimbledon 2025: Swiatek Surges Into Second Round With Win Over Polina Kudermetova
Iga Swiatek: Five-time Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek of Poland started her campaign in the 2025 Wimbledon with a straight sets win in her opening match in the women's singles at the All-England Club here on Tuesday. Swiatek, a four-time French Open winner and one-time US Open titlist, took out Polina Kudermetova 7-5, 6-1 to secure her place in the second round.
The Polish former World No.1 has her best performance playing a quarterfinal at Wimbledon two years ago, which was following her best WTA Tour grass result ever. This year, Swiatek, who is currently ranked No.4 in the WTA Rankings, reached the final in Bad Homburg, Germany, which was her first WTA final since winning in Paris more than a year ago.
Tuesday's victory against Kudermetova is the 61st consecutive win in an opening match -- the longest streak of any woman this century. She’ll meet Caty McNally, a 6-3, 6-1 winner over British wildcard Jodie Burrage on Thursday.
