Iga Swiatek flew past Lin Zhu 6-1, 6-3 in a flawless start for the World No.1 at Wimbledon who dispelled illness doubts from Bad Homburg Open.

Swiatek said that the fact she was on a 34-match winning streak played on her mind during last year's tournament so now comes in with a clear mind.

“The thing is that last year I just felt like I still have this streak going,” she said afterwards.

“After Roland-Garros, kind of everybody was talking about that. It was a lot kind of on my shoulders when I got into the tournament. Obviously I tried to kind of just work through it, not really focus on that, what I usually do. Really I'm not looking at numbers or stats.

“But, yeah, it wasn't easy, especially having just played one tournament on grass last year. I think that's why was a little bit more tricky because I felt, like, rusty, kind of mentally in terms of the focus tennis-wise because I didn't play any matches on grass.

“I think this year is much more comfortable for me. For sure winning a Grand Slam this year, it feels like I kind of reached my goal. I was really kind of happy and I could celebrate after. But last year, I just felt more expectations.

“I think that's the difference.”

Next up is Martina Trevisan or Sara Sorribes Tormo and she is confident of her chances on grass as well as being 'open-minded' this year.

“I feel really kind of confident,” she said in her on-court interview.

“I felt I did a really good job of adjusting to grass. I wanted to see how today was going to go and when I came on court it felt amazing.

“After Roland-Garros I took some time to appreciate what happened and last year when I won Roland-Garros it was my second Grand Slam so it still felt overwhelming. This time I could just focus on celebrating and getting back to work with more peace in my head.

“I tried to be open minded for the grass season and I think it’s working. Hopefully I will be able to keep that mindset.”
