Polish tennis star Iga Swiatek enjoyed a lot of success on the court this year. With the season drawing to a close, Swiatek already has her eyes on her goals for next year. The season will begin with the Australian Open, and Iga took the opportunity to show off her new racket.
Swiatek capped off the year on a sensational note. She won the China Open and followed it up with a stunning display to win the WTA Finals in Cancun. Moreover, she also retook the top spot from Aryna Sabalenka, having lost it after her exit from the US Open. Swiatek fought back hard, overcoming her fears and dethroning Sabalenka, and now she is ready for what the following year brings.
The world number one has been busy, though. After a relaxing trip, she is back fulfilling her contractual obligations. Swiatek was captured shooting a new promotional for Infosys.

During the shoot, something about her racket stood out. Apparently, the world number one will play with a different racket frame at the Australian Open next year.
Swiatek plays with a custom-made Tecnifibre Tempo 298 IGA frame. Following the grueling six-hour shoot, Iga confessed that it was her match racket for the first Slam of 2024. “Yes, it’s the new one for the Australian Open. Here take a look,” she said, showing the racket (via Tennis-infinity).

Iga Swiatek has established herself as a dominant force in women’s tennis and has found immense success. She has her Technifibre racket to thank for it.
Iga Swiatek has a custom-made racket
Several tennis greats have played with custom-made rackets. From Roger Federer to Serena Williams, each had their own signature model. And now, Iga has one as well. Swiatek switched racket brands frequently before she won her first Grand Slam at the French Open.
Swiatek began her career with the Prince Textreme Tour 290 before the brand could no longer afford her. Since then, Iga has been using the Tecnifibre Tempo 298 IGA, where 298 refers to the weight of the racket.
Iga’s racket complements her playing style and has her preferred balance, stiffness, and string pattern. The elliptical geometry of the firm beam gives the Pole power and control.
Iga Swiatek has been sensational throughout the year, winning six titles, including the French Open. She hopes to add several more to her trophy cabinet in the upcoming year.
