"I could not find my rhythm today" - Swiatek on win over Davis

Iga Swiatek played a solid albeit not great match against Lauren Davis but she was able to secure the win in straight sets.

The match did not feature the typical dominant display from Swiatek as Davis played very aggressive tennis herself but the Polish player was more consistent with it. In the 2nd set, she was able to battle back from an 0-3 deficit to win the match.

She spoke about the non-perfect nature of the match following the victory:

“I could not find my rhythm today. She played pretty smart. I’m pretty happy at the end that I could put balls in. I’m just trying to enjoy any match, even when I’m not perfect.”

Swiatek has now been world number one for a couple of months and it gave her a sense of what it takes to stay there. She's even more amazed by the longevity of Serena Williams after experiencing some of it:

“Being in this situation. I know how tough it is sometimes to find balance and to actually stay focused on the proper things. I think she did very well. I have huge appreciation because it’s one of my goals actually to be consistent throughout my whole career, staying Top 10 for a long, long time. She was No.1 for a long, long time, so it’s pretty crazy. For sure, I understand it little bit more right now, how much work she has put into it.”
