After successfully defending her crown at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix and winning her 13th title on the Hologic WTA Tour, Iga Swiatek was already looking ahead to her next challenge – the Madrid Open. As she prepares for the tournament, she was asked about her expectations and motivations for this clay-court event.

Although Swiatek is currently the World No. 1 in women’s singles tennis, she admitted that she still lacks experience in the sport. This will be her third time playing at altitude, which makes the conditions in Madrid tricky. Nevertheless, Swiatek is determined to face this challenge with her coach’s guidance.

Three-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek has been dominating the tennis world since becoming the world number one in women’s singles tennis. However, she has revealed that managing the pressure that comes with this title has been a learning experience for her.

Swiatek recently won the Stuttgart Open, defeating Aryna Sabalenka 6-3, 6-4 in the final. This victory marks her second successful title defense this year, adding to her triumph in Doha. As she prepares to defend her French Open title next month, Swiatek has opened up about her experiences as world number one.

Last year was a tough year for Swiatek, and she admitted that she expected this season to be just as difficult due to the expectations and noise surrounding her. However, she has managed to tune out these external factors and focus on her game. Following her fourth-round exit at the Australian Open earlier this year, Swiatek admitted that she had been affected by the pressure and had been going into matches with the hope of not losing instead of the desire to win.

However, she has learned to use her experience to her advantage and focus on her game instead of worrying about external factors. Swiatek is now more settled as the world’s number one and is excited about what the future holds. She is grateful for her position and is looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead.
