Iga Swiatek is named WTA Player of the Year after winning both the French and US Open in 2022 and rising to No 1 in the world rankings; David Witt was named WTA Coach of the Year for his work with Jessica Pegula.
Iga Swiatek was honoured as WTA Player of the Year for the first time on Monday after rising to No 1 in the rankings in April and remaining there for the rest of the season thanks in part to two Grand Slam titles.
Swiatek, who was the WTA Newcomer of the Year in 2020, led the tour with 67 match wins and eight titles. That included a run of six trophies in a row during a 37-match winning streak that lasted from February to July and was the longest undefeated stretch in women’s tennis in a quarter of a century.
