World number one Iga Swiatek said Friday she was prepared for her 28-match winning streak to be snapped at the French Open, where she will attempt to lift the trophy for the second time.
The 20-year-old has won the last five tournaments she has entered, triumphing on clay in Stuttgart and Rome, and arrives in Paris as the overwhelming favourite for the title. Speaking about her incredible streak, Swiatek said:
"I'm aware that this streak is something that may be coming to an end soon, so I don't want to be like heartbroken when it's going to happen. I think being aware of that is pretty healthy. I haven't played a Grand Slam since the streak started. So I guess we're going to see if everything I have been doing before is going to be enough. But I have really positive thoughts."
She is not putting pressure on herself ahead of the event saying:
"I'm more relaxed. I proved to myself and to other people that I can be in the top of the game, and before I wasn't feeling that much confidence, so this year I feel much more peace."
On her mindset heading in, she said:
"I'm just going to again take it match by match, as I did on previous tournaments, and we'll see. I don't mind, because I already have so much points and I'm pretty happy with the last tournaments that I think this season is already a success for me."
