"So many people surround me, accost me": Swiatek on pros and cons of 'overwhelming' fame being World No.1
WTAThursday, 27 July 2023 at 21:00
Poland’s tennis star Iga Swiatek has revealed the pros and cons of being the number one player in the world.
The 22-year-old is the top-ranked women’s player in the WTA rankings, despite a recent setback.
Talking about how it feels to reach the very top, Swiatek stated that sometimes it becomes ‘overwhelming’ when people surround her.
"There are situations where the fact that so many people surround me, accost me, can be overwhelming, sometimes tiring, but I always try to remind myself that in a way I was aware that if I played tennis well, this would happen,” she said.
“I've always wanted people to be interested in tennis, and I appreciate that. I admit that if you play tennis well, you can get a vacation that will make up for all the hardships and you can go to places that give you everything you need, so there are pros and cons, but I certainly shouldn't be the person who complains for your job.”
Swiatek is currently taking part in the Warsaw Open where she has already booked her place in the last-eight after beating America’s Claire Liu in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2.
She will be hoping to continue her winning streak, especially after a disappointing outing in Wimbledon 2023 where she was knocked out from the quarterfinal stage after suffering defeat to Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina with a score of 7-5, 6-7, 6-2.
Swiatek’s next target will be to defend her crown in New York in the US Open. The Warsaw-born defeated Ons Jabeur in the final with a score of 6-2, 7-6, to lift the title last year.
