LONDON—For weeks while back home in Warsaw last year, Iga Swiatek hung out with friends and made new ones, but didn’t dare tell them about a doping case that was hanging over

Iga Swiatek was visibly moved after claiming her first Wimbledon title, following a dominant 6-0, 6-0 rout of her opponent Amanda Anisimova in just 57 minutes.

Iga Swiatek had a confession to make moments after earning her maiden Wimbledon triumph as the Pole admitted that she "did not even dream" of being a champion at The All England Club because she didn't think that was possible for her.
