Relaxed Swiatek Ready for Roland-Garros Following Rome Victory

World No 1 tennis player, Iga Swiatek, credits her recent success in Rome to a relaxed mindset and her ability to adapt to the Foro Italico surface. In a post-match press conference, Swiatek mentioned that she felt she could “do everything” on the court in Rome, unlike in Madrid where she felt limited.

The Polish player also revealed that she is now less focused on ranking points compared to last year, which has allowed her to play better tennis. Swiatek admitted that last year she was too caught up in chasing points and rankings, which affected her performance on the court. Now, she is able to focus on herself and not waste energy on unnecessary distractions.

With victories in Madrid and Rome, Swiatek is feeling confident heading into Roland-Garros, the second Grand Slam of the year. She is only one step away from achieving a rare feat accomplished only by Serena Williams in history. Despite her recent success, Swiatek remains humble and cautious, acknowledging the challenges that come with Grand Slam tournaments.

As she prepares for Roland-Garros, Swiatek plans to take a few days off to relax and spend time with friends before returning to practice mid-week. She is determined to approach the tournament one step at a time and work hard to maintain her current form. With her newfound mindset and confidence, Swiatek is ready to take on the competition in Paris and continue her impressive run on the court.
