Iga Świątek is taking a break after Wimbledon, but her mind is already on future goals—both on and off the court. The 25-year-old Polish tennis star recently shared her dreams of owning a home in Italy and completing a career Grand Slam, the only major missing from her resume being the Australian Open.
What Did Iga Świątek Say About Italy?
During a recent campaign for the brand Oshee, Świątek opened up about her aspirations. 'Tennis-wise, my dream is to win all four Grand Slams—achieving a career Grand Slam,' she said. 'In life, I’d love to have a home in Italy.' This isn’t the first time she’s expressed her affection for the country. After a vacation in Italy in October 2025, she admitted, 'I could live there. Maybe one day I will. Italy is amazing.'
Why Does Italy Hold a Special Place for Świątek?
Italy has been a lucky charm for Świątek in her career. She has won the Italian Open in Rome three times—in 2021, 2022, and 2024. Beyond tennis, she enjoys Italian culture, often visiting the restaurant La Vittoria during her stays in Rome. Her love for Italian cuisine is no secret either—tiramisu is her favorite dessert.
What’s Next for Iga Świątek’s Career?
After her Wimbledon campaign, Świątek is preparing for the hard-court season, starting with the tournament in Toronto in August. Her next major goal is the Australian Open, where she has reached the semifinals twice but is yet to claim the title. A victory there would complete her career Grand Slam, a feat only a few elite players have achieved.
