Iga Swiatek not worried about transition to grass

Iga Swiatek plays her worst tennis on grass simply because she did not play much on the surface but even so she reached the 4th round of Wimbledon last year.

Results like that and self-belief in her tennis give her a lot of confidence heading into the part of the season where she is expected to struggle the most. Speaking following her Roland Garros triumph she admitted he will head home for at least a week before continuing her season.

"I want to stay at least a week at home, so I will do that," said Swiatek. We have some grass-court venues, like two courts probably, maybe an hour-and-a-half from Warsaw. So I don't know. I haven't talked to my coach. It's usually his decision. But I want to stay in Warsaw for a few days. That will be like the nicest thing for me because I have been on tour since the Fed Cup. Then I came back home for like one night. It doesn't really count."

On transition to grass, she added:

"My coach believes I can win more matches on grass. I don't know about that yet. But I would like to add like one or two. But honestly, grass is always tricky. I actually like the part that I have no expectations there. It's something kind of refreshing."

"Yeah, I'm going to just prepare my best and maybe with his experiences that he had with Aga Radwanska. It was her favourite surface, so maybe he's going to give me some tips that are actually going to be really helpful and I'm going to enjoy playing on grass a little bit more."
