Iga Świątek: The No1 tennis player in the world is enjoying her holidays in Crete

Iga Świątek, the No. 1 tennis player in the women's world ranking, may not have made it all the way to Wimbledon (she was defeated in the quarterfinals by Elina Svitolina), but she is evidently not letting it bother her as she unwinds in Crete.

The 22-year-old Pole, having the opportunity to rest before crossing over to the other side of the Atlantic (as the US Open follows in September), found herself in Greece for the second time in a few years, namely in Crete, which is becoming her favourite destination.

Świątek was on the island in 2018 and did not hide her enthusiasm...

However, returning five years later, her adoration for Crete grew even more.

“I have to say I have the best job in the world as it allows me to travel to places like this. I'm seriously considering staying here until the end of the month.. Just don't say anything to my team. For the wonderful holidays in Crete, I would like to thank @planet_escape, who took care of the smallest detail and made the short trip full of quality rest, beautiful views and delicious food," she wrote in her post.
