LEGO gifts Iga Swiatek strawberry model to celebrate Wimbledon win

Iga Swiatek's Wimbledon win hasn't just been immortalized in tennis history. It's also been commemorated in LEGO bricks. The toy-maker gifted the 24-year-old a giant strawberry in honor of her historic SW19 triumph, the second double-bagel victory in a Grand Slam final in the Open Era.

The big berry, made of 3,000 LEGO bricks, is complete with a tiny model of Swiatek holding a bowl of strawberries. (Pasta not included.)

It is the third custom kit Swiatek has received from the company since officially adding LEGO to her brand portfolio in 2024, after she admitted she's honed on-court calmness and focus off the court by building models with the colorful bricks. After the Pole won her third consecutive, and fourth Roland Garros singles title overall, last year, LEGO gifted her a replica of Court Philippe-Chatrier, complete with an attached "Iga's Bakery," in reference to her proverbial penchant for dominant wins, plus miniature versions of her team and cat, Grappa. She also received a LEGO replica of her Technifibre racquet.

"[This] will remind me how important the small pleasures and joys in life are," she said of her latest prize.

Swiatek is also the second consecutive Wimbledon champion to have an affinity for LEGO, and to get a custom kit. Last year, singles champion Barbora Krejcikova, who also likes to relax by building LEGO models, was presented a replica of the Venus Rosewater Dish, tennis racquet and action-ready figurine.

But Swiatek's gift wasn't just about her own hobbies. It was also meant to commemorate her latest national milestone, as she is the first Polish player to win Wimbledon in singles.

Maciej Seliński, general manager of Lego Poland, Ukraine and the Baltics said in a statement that Swiatek's victory "is a moment that will go down in the history of Polish sport, and we wanted to celebrate it in a way that was not only personal but also happy and filled with Lego’s signature creativity."

“This unique present is not only a tribute to Iga's success, but also a celebration of the values that are close to both her and to us as a brand: perseverance, courage, authenticity, and above all, childlike joy and a passion for creation,” he added.
