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

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 ALL ENGLAND CLUB, LONDON — Iga Świątek is not messing around as she moves into her first Wimbledon final. She dominated Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0 Thursday to set up a meeting with Amanda Anisimova of the U.S., with the controlled, clinical aggression on both serve and return that has defined her tennis the past fortnight.

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.

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’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.
