Polish tennis star Iga Swiatek, 21, felt honoured that her name features on TIME's list of the 100 most influential people of 2023. Last summer, the World No. 1 organised a charity event for Ukraine in Krakow.

"I have never thought that something like this will happen to me. Thank you @TIME for this incredible honour and recognition. And thank you @MikaelaShiffrin for your words. It means a lot," Swiatek tweeted recently.
