Massive, massive respect to
@Ajlatom
.
The biggest tennis stadium in the world, 23771 people and no one outside her box wanted her to win this match.
She overcame it all, and with pure class too. What a win.
Shoutout to
@CocoGauff
, not just for playing an amazing tournament but also for being the first player I’ve ever saw mentioning the photographers in her ceremony speech.
🤜🤛
Jessie casually sipping on a Heineken during her post-match presser is the most iconic thing today.
Get on if you're not on the JPEG train yet, she's hella chill.
Ok, can the next tournament with a trophy that has a removable lid please put sometheng, anything, in there if Iga’s in the final?
She’s gonna look every time… surprise her.
And this is supposedly a sort-of underwhelming season for her, according to some pundits. 🤷🏻♂️
Hyperbolic criticism for sure, but also a symptom of her success. At 22 years of age she’s already held to only the highest standards set by the sport’s biggest legends.

rallies back in spectacular fashion from a 1-4 deficit in the 3rd against Danielle Collins to reach R3 in Melbourne.
This is it...officially the very last frame shot in my 2022 season.
214 days spent shooting this year, 22 tournaments covered, from Australia all the way to Fort Worth.
As a photographer, you grow pretty accustomed to see your work spread far and wide, but having the cover image of a Vogue piece is definitely not something that happens to a sports photographer a lot.
Thanks, iga!
Cool to see they used the Ons collar-fixing one too.
When shooting a big final, you’re always stressing out about getting a proper shot of the match point reaction that captures the historic moment well.
I think this worked out quite well!
11085 points, 37 wins in a row, four WTA 1000 titles, two Grand Slams, eight trophies in total!
One of the most impressive seasons in the history of tennis from
@iga_swiatek
, who finishes 2022 as the undisputed Year-End World No.1!
Two years ago today, Iga Swiatek became World No.1 in Miami.
While it felt like a significant moment back then, its significance only continues to grow in retrospect.
24 months later, the words „World No.1“ and „Iga Swiatek“ have become pretty much synonymous.
