Strawberries hold a special place in Wimbledon tradition. But strawberries and pasta? Iga Swiatek explained it’s a dish from her native Poland. “Why is it such a big thing? Everybody should eat that,” a smiling Swiatek said after her third-round victory Saturday against Danielle Collins.

Strawberries hold a special place in Wimbledon tradition. But strawberries and pasta? Iga Swiatek explained that it’s a dish from her native Poland.

It’s Iga Świątek, the five-time Grand Slam champion who spent 125 weeks as the world No. 1 between early 2022 and late 2024. She’s the No. 8 seed at Wimbledon, but she’s actually the world No. 4. Only three of the top seven players in the world are left in the draw.
