WTA> Swiatek: “I can’t imagine myself playing at this level of physical and mental intensity for the next six years”

At 20, Iga Swiatek is ninth in the world and has already won Roland Garros. A major performance achieved at the end of 2020, which she consolidated by winning Rome, reaching the quarterfinals at Porte d’Auteuil and the knockout stages at Wimbledon and the US Open. A solid season to which the Polish came back for the WTA: “With Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the Olympics, it was intense and there was a lot of pressure. And it never stopped because as soon as I finished a tournament, I had to prepare the other, often on a different surface, which does not allow me to gain much confidence. ”

Learning from this 2021 season, Iga Swiatek knows she will have to adapt: ​​”I can’t imagine myself playing at this level of physical and mental intensity for the next six years. There are times when I won’t want to hear about tennis. Hopefully, over the years, I’ll be able to rest a bit more and put less pressure on myself. “
