Iga Swiatek follows in father Tomasz’s footsteps; becomes second family member to reach final 8 at Olympics in Paris

Polish tennis star Iga Swiatek followed in her father Tomasz’s footsteps on Monday, July 30, by becoming the second member of the Swiatek family to reach the last eight at the Olympics. Tomasz reached the rowing quarterfinals at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

The Polish world No. 1 took on China’s Xiyu Wang in the third round, after dominating Romania’s Irina-Camelia Begu and France’s Diane Parry in the opening two rounds. She shrugged off a slow start against the Chinese to eventually seal an emphatic 6-3, 6-4 win and a berth in her first Olympic Games quarterfinals.The win was not only Swiatek’s 50th of the season, but it also ensured that she joined the elite company of her father Tomasz as the only two members of their family to make it to the final eight at the Olympics
