It is already certain that (WTA 9th) will play in the third round. The Grand Slam tournament has so far been an easy path for a 20-year-old tennis player. In the first match, Polka defeated Harriet Dart (WTA 123) 6: 3, 6: 0,. In the next round he will face Daria Kasatkina (WTA 23) 2: 6, 3: 6.

I hope Christmas is all right -. And there were indeed moments when she cried on the court or thrashed violent expressions under her breath.

It seems that there have been changes since the new season, also on the mental side. – This year I am trying to change my attitude towards tournaments and enjoy what is happening around them even more. For example, when I lost to [WTA 1. – przyp. red.] in the WTA 500 semi-final in Adelaide, of course I was sad and nervous, but it took me less time to get through it.

How does Iga ¦wi ± tek “reset” during tournaments in Australia? – Every day I used to go to the botanical gardens in Adelaide. It’s a completely different, much warmer way to be closer to nature, especially after such cold months in Europe. A walk on the St. Kilda, which is one of Melbourne’s greatest attractions. It helps me. This week I have already been there twice – continues Świątek.

The Polish tennis player admitted that she does not like stagnation, which makes her bored. Avoiding this feeling is one of the elements her entire team tries to avoid. A walk close to the water, on the other hand, calms her down and, as she says herself, keeps her energized.

Iga Świątek will play another match on the night from Friday to Saturday (January 21-22).
