• "She followed this up with her best junior title to date at the Grade 1 Canadian Open Junior Championships, defeating Olga Danilović in the final." - perhaps clarify this was in the singles?

• "Świątek had a strong first half of 2017. She won both the singles and doubles titles at the Grade 1 Traralgon Junior International. Although she lost her opening round match at the Australian Open, she partnered with compatriot Maja Chwalińska to make her first final in a Grand Slam event, finishing runner-up in doubles to the North American team of Bianca Andreescu and Carson Branstine." - all of this portion of text will need verifying with reliable sources
  • Added ITF profiles. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 15:03, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

• "After a $25K title in April, Świątek moved up to higher-level ITF events that spring. Following her junior Wimbledon title in July, she skipped the junior US Open to stay in Europe.

2019: First WTA final, top 50 debut

• "She then defeated No. 82 Ana Bogdan in three sets in her debut match to reach the second round." - WTA Tennis does not mention Bogdan was world No. 82
  • It does. Apparently, they split the "2019 page" in half right in the middle of the Australian Open for some reason (probably a mistake in the website setup). If you click the "show more", the match with Bogdan appears. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 10:44, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

  • This can be inferred from the date (15 April 2019, and her birthday is 31 May 2001), and counting is not OR. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 10:44, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
• "Świątek closed out her clay court season with a fourth round appearance at the French Open in her second major." - Think a direct use of a reliable source will help matters here
  • Added WTA match history as a source. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 10:44, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

• "She also became the youngest singles champion at the tournament since Rafael Nadal in 2005 and the youngest women's singles champion since Monica Seles in 1992." - repetition of "champion"
  • Changed second one to "winner". Sportsfan77777 (talk) 10:54, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

• "Świątek won her only singles match in 2018." - against whom?
