She is such a nice and talented young lady. Do you know what her last name Świątek mean?

French Open 2022 final: Iga Swiatek extends streak, cruises to win over Coco Gauff
The No. 1 women's tennis player in the world wouldn't be denied at the 2022 French Open. Iga Swiatek extended her incredible win streak to 35 matches Saturday, cruising to a win over Coco Gauff in the French Open final.
Swiatek was locked in from the start, taking the first set 6-1. Gauff appeared nervous early, making unforced errors to help Swiatek get ahead. Gauff finished the match with three double faults.
Gauff seemed to shake off the rust early in the second set, taking the first two games off Swiatek. From there, Swiatek found her swing. She won the next five games. With one more win, Swiatek would claim the French Open title.
Swiatek went up early in the next game, but Gauff fought back to take it. That pushed the second set to 5-3. Swiatek bounced back in the next game, winning it to take the set 6-3.
With the win, Swiatek has won the French Open two of the last three years. The win also extends Swiatek's streak to 35 matches. That ties Venus Williams for the longest win streak since 2000.
Iga Swiatek has now officially arrived
This win is the latest in a series of dominating victories that began in February. Over a month before Ash Barty retired, Swiatek began playing out of her mind, claiming title after title, winning set after set and game after game.
But it’s just the latest stop on a journey that started when she burst on the scene on the junior’s circuit as a teenager, winning her first and only junior Grand Slam at Wimbledon in 2018 before making her pro debut at the Australian Open in 2019. Even then, despite her early success, she was considered an under-the-radar player. Less than two years later, unseeded and ranked No. 54 in the world, Swiatek won the 2020 French Open, beating Sofia Kenin with her now-signature punishing dominance, becoming the lowest-ranked player to win the French Open in the Open Era.
