19-year-old Iga Swiatek recently won her first Masters 1000 title at the Italian Open 2021. Interestingly, she double-bageled Karolina Pliskova in the finals to clinch the Italian Open 2021 trophy. The final scoreline of the finale was 6-0, 6-0, with Swiatek leading a fabulous campaign in Rome and losing just a single set in the whole tournament.

In a recent interview, the Polish player opened up about her future dreams in tennis. Talking about her admiration for female players, she revealed that she would love to face Serena Williams on the court one day.
