The world is 2025 Wimbledon Champion Iga Swiatek‘s oyster (or strawberry and cream pasta dish as explained below). Everything that has happened since the 2024 French Open is ancient history, and Swiatek, the conqueror of grass, is enjoying the well-deserved attention.
They just put the Wimbledon Members Badge on Iga Swiatek.
What this means:
She gets 2 free Centre Court seat tickets everyday for the rest of her life.

In addition to social media congratulatory messages from Rafael Nadal and Coco Gauff and her Wimbledon Members Badge, Swiatek received another special gift. She has made it no secret that she is starting a Wimbledon towel collection. Swiatek was gifted a special towel after her win.

Will Strawberry Pasta Become A Thing?
🍓Strawberry season may be nearly over, but there’s still time to try a favorite summer dish of Wimbledon finalist Iga Świątek, who surprised tennis fans by revealing that she loves 🍓 & cream served—believe it or not—over pasta.

During the tournament, Swiatek mentioned that she ate strawberry and cream pasta dish. It is apparently a Polish delicacy. That created a frenzy of people curious enough to try it including Brad Gilbert at the ESPN desk.
Brad Gilbert trying Iga Swiatek’s favorite dish, strawberry pasta:
Brad: “That’s incredibly marginal. It has no seasoning. It needs a little like feta cheese, it’s really bland. Darren would give this zero out of ten. What are the chances you trying it.”

He could not convince Darren Cahill to take a bite, but Cahill has to be feeling well and ready to roll for Jannik Sinner’s match tomorrow.
