The International Tennis Federation (ITF) has announced that Rafael Nadal and Iga Swiatek have been named 2022 ITF World Champions, following impressive seasons in which both players won two Grand Slam singles titles.
Nadal and Swiatek are among 11 players who have been announced as ITF World Champions this week. In the doubles category, Rajeev Ram of USA and Great Britain’s Joe Salisbury are first-time winners of the ITF Men’s Doubles World Champion award, while the Czech pair of Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova win the ITF Women’s Doubles World Champion award for the third time.
At junior level, two-time Grand Slam boys’ singles runner-up Gilles Arnaud Bailly of Belgium has been rewarded for a season of consistent performances, while Roland Garros girls’ singles champion Lucie Havlickova of Czech Republic was crowned as ITF Girls World Champion.
As ITF Women’s World Champion, Swiatek becomes the first Polish singles player to win the award – and just the second Polish player to do so in any category, after 2017 ITF Men’s Doubles World Champion Lukasz Kubot.
Diede de Groot is named ITF Women’s Wheelchair World Champion for the fourth consecutive year.
