Iga Swiatek, the World No. 1 tennis player, has a love for tiramisu, a famous Italian dessert. To honor her recent success, Ristorante La Vittoria in Rome named their tiramisu “Iga Swiatek’s Tiramisu.” However, Swiatek is refraining from indulging in it during her Italian Open campaign, humorously mentioning that she will enjoy it more after the tournament. Last year, after winning the Italian Open, she joked about wanting tiramisu inside the trophy.
Following an unexpected early exit at the Madrid Open, where Coco Gauff eliminated her, Swiatek emphasized the need to reset and recharge. She took a break before focusing on her practice for the Italian Open, where she aims to defend her title for a fourth time. In the current tournament, Swiatek has advanced to the third round and is set to face Danielle Collins, holding a 7-1 edge over her in their career matchups.
If she progresses, potential quarterfinal matchups include reigning champion Madison Keys, leading to possible encounters with other top players, including Aryna Sabalenka in the final. Swiatek’s determination to reclaim her title remains strong as she balances her performance with her love for desserts.
