Iga Swiatek reveals this moment of uncontrollable sadness was her career low
WTAThursday, 28 March 2024 at 21:00
Iga Swiatek recently spoke about the lowest point in her career and her career high. The Polish player gave an interview to Tennis365 after announcing her appearance in the game TopSpin 2k25, where she will be one of the playable stars for users.
The 4-times Grand Slam champion burst onto the world tennis stage with her first Grand Slam title at the 2020 French Open at just 19 years old. Since then, she repeated the title at Roland Garros in 2022 and 2023, as well as winning the US Open in 2022.
Among active players, only Venus Williams surpasses her in Grand Slam titles (7), equaling Naomi Osaka. Additionally, she is assured of reaching 100 weeks as world No. 1 and has emerged as the leading figure on the WTA Tour in recent years.
For the Polish player, the career high was when she won the 2023 WTA Finals and finished the year as world No. 1, surpassing Aryna Sabalenka thanks to the title: "It’s actually a tough question," Swiatek said.
"As I’m constantly learning to enjoy my journey more and more and appreciate achievements I would say that winning Cancun and finishing 2023 as No 1 is something that will stay with me forever. But you know… every small win, every good practice and good day is a high moment for me."
Regarding the lowest point, she mentioned when she had to deal with the expectations of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Swiatek was eliminated in the second round against former Indian Wells champion Paula Badosa with a score of 6-3, 7-6(4). Swiatek said, "As for the low ones? Probably managing expectations during Tokyo 2020 was something that took a toll on me."
The current world No. 1 enjoyed a good streak in recent weeks and secured the Miami Open title. Her excellent form made her the top favorite at the Miami Open and to achieve her second Sunshine Double, something previously achieved only by Steffi Graf. However, she was eliminated in the fourth round by a convincing 6-4, 6-2 defeat against Ekaterina Alexandrova.
"I just feel disappointed, for sure, because I thought I was going to play better here in Miami. But she played an amazing match and for sure was the better play out there today," Iga Swiatek concluded.
