No. 1-ranked women’s tennis player Iga Swiatek is a big Taylor Swift fan, a “Swiftie,” as they are known.
Swiatek made that known after defeating Claire Liu in straight sets, 6-4, 6-0, in the second round of the 2023 French Open, which came after her 22nd birthday Wednesday.
After a post-match interview, Swiatek decided to sign the camera in front of her at Roland Garros, writing, “I’m feeling 22! #Swiftie.”

So, it was only natural that when Swiatek’s 22nd birthday rolled around, the popular Swift song “22” was going to be in her head.
Swiatek’s favorite of Swift’s 10 albums is “Red,” which features “22.” It also includes hit singles “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and “I Knew You Were Trouble.”

But while everyone is clamoring to see Swift on “The Eras Tour,” Swiatek has an important stretch of her own with the French Open followed by Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, Grand Slam tournaments where she will likely be favored as she is in Paris.
Swiatek will be rocking out on Saturday for her third-round match against China’s Xinyu Wang.
