"I don't know if I'm supposed to do that" - Iga Swiatek discloses item from Wimbledon she takes home after matches

Although she has access to everything available on the hallowed grounds of Wimbledon, Polish star Iga Swiatek admitted to taking home more than her share of a certain item after each of her matches.

The former World No.1 kicked off her SW19 campaign with a 7-5 6-1 win over Polina Kudermetova, converting all three of her break point chances to record a convincing victory. Swiatek will face Caty McNally in the second round, with the American defeating British hope Jodie Burrage in their first round encounter.

The five-time Major champion has historically struggled on grass, never making it past the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. However, she exhibited a positive attitude during her post-match interview, where she was forced to explain the number of towels in her bag.

"How many towels have you just put in your bag?" asked the interviewer. "I don’t know how big your closet is at home but there’s about six in there!"

"It’s like a topic that no-one ever talks about," revealed Swiatek. "Like, we love our towels, you know. Yeah, every time I come back from a slam, I think I have like, I don’t know, 10 friends and 10 members of my family wanting towels.
“So sorry guys! Sorry Wimbledon! I don’t know if I’m supposed to do that, though.
“Yeah I mean, no, I mean, I have a lot at home.. I don’t think much more, and if I’m gonna play like 15 more years on tour, I can’t even imagine, I think I’m gonna have to build like another room in my house just for some towels."
