The 2023 season is not going well for Idze Świątek. Of course she is not weak, she won Roland Garros for the third time, but she performed worse in Grand Slam tournaments on other courts. At the Australian Open and US Open She was eliminated in the fourth roundHowever, she defended the title in New York.
