The Queen of Clay, Iga Swiatek, is making significant strides on grass, including her maiden appearance in The Championships final.

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 four players are left in the draw now, and she is one of them — for the first time.

Iga Świątek shocked Wimbledon when she praised pasta with strawberries, a Polish dish, so we had to try the tennis pro's post-match meal.

The cool part about strawberries and pasta is that it's no longer considered a sugary balm to endure a time of struggle. It's a cultural touchstone, a delightful treat that Polish families have integrated into their kitchens all the time to this day. It has evolved into something so much more.

Poland’s Iga Świątek will meet Switzerland’s Belinda Bencic in the Wimbledon semi-finals on Thursday afternoon, as she aims for her first final at the All England Club.

Iga Świątek’s go-to meal during tournaments is a nostalgic Polish dish: pasta with strawberries. The dish combines pasta, mashed strawberries, yogurt, honey, and vanilla for a light, sweet meal. Rich in nutrients and easy to make, it’s a refreshing summer option packed with health benefits.

Iga Świątek, a finalist in this year’s tournament, introduced tennis fans to a beloved Polish dish — enter, makaron z truskawkami.

The Wimbledon women’s semifinals are upon us as Amanda Anisimova upset Aryna Sabalenka to make her first grand slam final. Belinda Bencic will now play Iga Świątek for the other spot. Follow all the live updates on CNN Sports.
