Iga Swiatek shares why she is doing much better at this year’s Wimbledon

Iga Swiatek says she feels much more relaxed at this year’s Wimbledon as the Pole highlighted it’s a completely different situation for her at The Championships this year. Last Wimbledon, Swiatek arrived on a 35-match winning streak and Wimbledon was her first tournament since winning the French Open.

At the time, there was lots of attention on Swiatek’s winning streak and that put immense pressure on the Pole. After suffering a shock Wimbledon third-round loss to Alize Cornet last year, Swiatek is doing much better this year as she reached the round-of-16 at The Championships without a dropped set.

Swiatek: This time it is different at Wimbledon

“I do feel more relaxed.

I think also because I won Roland Garros and I feel like after that the pressure is a little bit off because I reached my goal kind of for the season. I don’t have to think about anything else other than playing. But this time is a little bit different because I feel like I have more kind of, I don’t know, free space in my head to develop my game and to work on my skills on grass.
