It was a huge day for Iga Swiatek on Friday, as her 6-2, 6-0 win over Viktorija Golubic in Miami clinched her the No. 1 ranking—she’ll rise to the top spot on the WTA rankings on April 4th, the Monday after the tournament, becoming the first player from Poland and the first player born in the 2000s to reach No. 1 in ATP or WTA rankings history.

But there’s one more list she rose to the top of with her win over Golubic: Swiatek, who was already the match wins leader on the women’s tour this year coming into Miami, has now won more matches than any woman OR man this year.

Before her win on Friday, she was tied with Rafael Nadal at 20.
