"I'm not perfectly happy" - Swiatek not happy after win over Kovinic

Iga Swiatek extended her winning streak to 31 with a 6-3 7-5 defeat of Danka Kovinic in the third round of Roland Garros.

"For sure I felt like she used my power in some moments so I had to adjust a little bit more to what she was playing, and for sure played a little bit more smart. I changed the tactics in second set a little bit to play less risky, but then I did some mistakes. I lost my breaks. I'm not perfectly happy with that, but overall I'm happy with the performance, and that I came back in the second set."

Swiatek jumped ahead of Henin with 31 matches with only Serena and Venus ahead of her. But it seems like the pressure is rising for her. Will be interesting to see how she handles it.
