The strawberry model is about 30 cm high and wide, and hidden in its heart is a miniature figurine of Iga holding a tennis racket and a bowl of strawberries. This creative and symbolic piece is LEGO’s way of thanking her for the sporting emotions and inspiration that Świątek delivers to fans all over the world.
Iga, an ambassador for the LEGO brand since 2024, admitted that building with bricks helps her to relax and focus before important matches, serving as a form of mental training. „I like the process because it helps me calm down and focus on the here and now, to be present in the moment” – she said in an interview for Forbes.
This is not the first time LEGO has prepared personalized gifts for Świątek. Last year, to mark her fourth Roland Garros title, she received models of the Philippe-Chatrier court with the “Iga’s Bakery” stand and a replica of her tennis racket made from LEGO bricks.
Maciej Seliński, Managing Director of LEGO Poland, emphasized that Iga’s victory is a historic moment for Polish sport, and their gift is not only a personal gesture but also an expression of the joy and creativity that LEGO values most. „This is a unique tribute to Iga’s success, as well as a celebration of values close to both her and our company: perseverance, courage, authenticity, and the joy of creating.”
The extraordinary LEGO gift – the strawberry construction – is not only a commemoration of her sporting success but also a beautiful symbol of passion and small joys in the champion’s life, which give her strength both on and off the court.
