Iga Natalia Świątek

[Starigniter]

Moim zdaniem to żaden argument, Nadal czy Djokovic w swoim teamie psychologa nie mieli, a przynajmniej sobie nie przypominam. Jednak chodzi głównie o Darię w teamie Igi.

Widocznie Rafole nie potrzebowali, a Roger jednak tak, i to przynajmniej od 2006.

Iga Swiatek: "Wimbledon? I don't expect anything from the grass-season"

Spoiler:

After winning the last 11 games played at the Roland Garros without losing a single set, the champion of the 119th edition of the French Open has left Paris to the quarter-finals, in this 2021 edition. Iga Swiatek also had to deal with a problem in her right leg during the last game played at the Roland Garros, but Maria Sakkari was flawless and didn't shiver in the important moments.

The Pole player has decided to start the grass-season from Eastbourne, where she will try to adapt to the new playing conditions ahead of Wimbledon. As she has reiterated in several interviews, Swiatek doesn't know what to expect from the grass season and her goals aren't that high.

Swiatek, in the press conference, said: "During the first training sessions on the grass I felt I was out of rhythm; they are much more insecure than clay and concrete. It's a very different feeling. At first I was happy to play on grass, a different surface than we are used to, but over time you feel desperate at certain times."


Iga Swiatek: "Wimbledon? I don't expect anything from the grass-season"
About the feeling with the rest of the playing surfaces during the season she said: "You didn't feel that continuity you feel all season.

It's a completely different feeling. Here the footwork is different. You have to dose your movements. I have played intense games since the beginning of the year, but this is the first time my legs hurt so much. It's amazing to think how tired she is after a couple of days of training on the grass.

Top spin on this surface doesn't work, so I have to find other strategies. I know it will be very difficult for me, but I have to think about having a good attitude and playing tournaments without high expectations. I will try to relax and enjoy every game.

In my mind, I feel like I'm on vacation, because playing on grass is really special. But it's frustrating to play on a surface that doesn't suit my style of play. Also last month I said that I did not expect anything good from the season on the grass. I'm trying not to get angry when things don't go the way I want."

Modest Swiatek on learning curve on grass

Spoiler:

Polish No.7 seed is happy to be out of spotlight after intensity of Roland-Garros READ MORE
BY REEM ABULLEIL
SOCIAL
After a stressful few weeks on clay, where she had a target on her back as the Roland-Garros defending champion, Iga Swiatek is happy to be flying under the radar at Wimbledon.

The Polish No.7 seed has played a total of eight professional level matches on grass in her career – including Qualifying – and despite being a former junior champion at SW19, Swiatek knows she has a lot to learn on the surface in order to produce top performances.

“Even though I'm the seventh seed, I don't give myself more pressure because I know that I don't have experience. I just try to learn as much as possible,” the 20-year-old told reporters ahead of her Tuesday opener against Hsieh Su-Wei.

“I think the work that I'm going to do here is going to give effects in a few years. You just need experience on grass, basically.


TALKING TENNIS
“Actually, it's kind of nice because I can play without any expectations. After all that fuss that was around during clay season, during Roland-Garros, it's just easier actually. I'm enjoying it.”

Swiatek indeed seems to be having a great time at the All England Club. After sending Andy Murray a tweet suggesting they have a practice session together so he could give her some tips, the young Pole bumped into the two-time Wimbledon champion on Friday.

“We actually spoke yesterday just for a second because we were both going the same way to the practice. I joked maybe we're going to the same practice,” she said with a smile.

“But I assume he's pretty busy. Playing with a girl probably would be some kind of a waste of time for him because, you know, he's much stronger and obviously he needs to play with some guys. I'm not bothering him, especially before Wimbledon.

“Maybe that's going to come up again, but really he's such a nice guy, it's just nice to talk with him and to meet him. It would be great to play with him, but I don't want to be too high-maintenance.”

Swiatek’s keenness to improve on grass is evident and she plans on watching match footage of players who have previously succeeded on the lawns of Wimbledon. “If you play only three weeks on grass per year, you need something more to get experience."

One journalist suggested Swiatek might want to watch videos of Rafael Nadal on grass, since he managed to translate his heavy topspin and great success on clay into two Wimbledon titles.

“For sure, in the next weeks I'm going to be watching a lot of matches, not only Rafa but especially girls, because doing what Rafa is doing is sometimes impossible for women,” admitted Swiatek, who is renowned for her heavy topspin forehand.

I'M GOING TO WATCH SIMONA FOR SURE AND HER RUN WHEN SHE WON. I'LL TRY TO FIND SOME EXPERIENCE FROM THAT
IGA SWIATEK
“I'm going to watch Simona [Halep] for sure and her run when she won. I'll try to find some experience from that.”

Swiatek will have to be sharp from the off as she opens against the ever-tricky Hsieh. The pair are very familiar to each other, having faced off in both singles and doubles in the past, and while Swiatek has defeated the veteran en route to the Roland-Garros trophy last autumn, she is well aware of just how tough an opponent she can be.

“She's just unpredictable, so you have to always be ready,” said Swiatek of the 35-year-old, who can pull off every shot in the book – those not in any book as well – and can spin the ball or hit big and flat on demand at any moment.

“There are some players that can play solid and just hold the ball sometimes. But she's the one that is going to come up with some crazy idea, which is great. That's why it's so fun to watch her. But it's hard to be on the other side of the net.

“It's going to be a hard match. I just think that if my game's going to be there and if I'm going to be in a good rhythm, if I'm going to approach the ball and not be late to many of the shots, I think I can do it. We'll see. It's going to be tricky.”

Is Swiatek One Step Closer To Practise With Murray?

Spoiler:

Murray and Swiatek spoke at Wimbledon after exciting Twitter exchange
Could WTA star Iga Swiatek be one step closer to practising with two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray?

The former World No. 1 trained with Roger Federer at Wimbledon on Friday as he prepares to return to singles action at SW19 for the first time since 2017. Swiatek, the seventh seed in the ladies’ singles draw is still waiting patiently for her chance.

“We actually spoke yesterday just for a second because we were both going the same way to the practice,” Swiatek said, cracking a smile. “I joked that maybe we're going to the same practice. But I assume he's pretty busy.

“Maybe that's going to come up again, but really, he's such a nice guy. It's just nice to talk with him and to meet him. It would be great to play with him, but I don't want to be too high maintenance."

Swiatek impressed Murray so much at Roland Garros that he took to Twitter to commend her, with an excited Swiatek then asking to hit with the Scot in her reply.


Swiatek is not the only WTA player to have set her sights on a hit with an ATP star. The World No. 35 Daria Kasatkina took to the court with eighth seed Roberto Bautista Agut at the All England Club ahead of her opening match.

“Very intensive practice today at Wimbledon,” Kasatkina wrote. “Thanks a lot to fillete (steak), Carlos Martinez and Roberto Bautista Agut, 40 minutes was more than enough.”

Iga Świątek wygrywa w Wimbledonie. "Wróciły wspomnienia i dobre chwile"
Na nawierzchni ziemnej Iga Świątek to jedna z najlepszych tenisistek na świecie. Jednak kiedy przychodzi okres gry na trawie, Polka traci większość swoich atutów. Zwycięstwo nad Su-Wei Hsieh (6:4, 6:4) było przełomowym momentem, gdyż ostatni triumf Polka odniosła na Wimbledonie podczas juniorskich zmagań w 2018 roku. Wtedy zresztą była najlepsza w całej stawce.
Wimbledon to dla Świątek turniej, do którego przystąpiła bez presji na sukces. Po wygranej nad Tajwanką Hsieh zabrała głos w mediach społecznościowych. Polka dodała szczery wpis na Twitterze.



Przywróciłem masę mięśni. Połykałem TO i pomogło…
"Kilka dni temu, kiedy miałam tzw. media day, przypomniałam sobie, że to właśnie tu trzy lata temu miałam swoją pierwszą konferencję prasową. Wtedy wszystko było nowe, nieznane i wymagające" - napisała Świątek.

ZOBACZ WIDEO: #dziejesiewsporcie: seksowna Lindsey Vonn z nowym wyzwaniem. "Pierwszy raz bez liny"
Dodała, że od tamtego czasu wiele się zmieniło w jej karierze. "Jedno pozostało niezmienne: ciągle uczę się trawy, ciągle szukam w sobie pokory i staram się szukać nowych rozwiązań dzień za dniem. Nie jest to łatwe, a mecze takie jak poniedziałkowy są dodatkowym wyzwaniem. Dlatego jakość i wynik cieszą tym bardziej" - dodała.

Polka wciąż czeka na rywalkę w II rundzie Wimbledonu. Będzie nią zwyciężczyni pojedynku Marie Bouzkova - Wiera Zwonariowa. "Widzimy się w 2. rundzie. Dzięki za kibicowanie i trzy lata temu, i teraz!" - zakończyła swój wpis triumfatorka zeszłorocznego Roland Garros.
