Polish tennis star Iga Świątek has confirmed her return to competitive tennis after a break that followed her US Open exit in September. The world’s top player is set to compete in both the WTA Finals in Riyadh and the Billie Jean King Cup Finals, marking a highly anticipated comeback.
WTA Finals in Riyadh to Begin Her Return
Iga Świątek’s first tournament back will be the WTA Finals in Riyadh, where she will take the court after a nearly two-month absence. This follows a period of significant changes in her career, including parting ways with coach Tomasz Wiktorowski. Świątek is now training under Belgian coach Wim Fissette, preparing for the high-stakes event in Saudi Arabia that will close out the WTA season.
Poland’s Star to Lead in Billie Jean King Cup
Following the WTA Finals, Świątek has also confirmed her participation in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in November, where she will represent Poland. The Polish team, which also includes players like Magda Linette and Magdalena Fręch, will face Spain in the first round. Świątek shared her enthusiasm on social media, saying she’s proud to represent her country and looks forward to giving her best in the tournament. The event, taking place in Malaga from November 13-20, promises to be an exciting conclusion to her season.
