Also, I know that it would be tricky if the info got out to the public earlier because without the proper explanation and actually without the whole process that happened afterwards, of me proving that I’m not guilty… I think without this, people will judge me straight away.

Iga Swiatek told The Athletic

The most difficult thing was just not knowing what’s going to happen with me for some time, not having my own fate in my hands. It was a tough lesson because I’m a control freak.

Iga Swiatek added

Swiatek is currently in Doha for the Qatar Open. She had defeated Maria Sakkari to schedule a second-round clash with Linda Noskova, the 20-year-old from the Czech Republic who defeated her in last year’s Australian Open third round.

Iga Swiatek says Rafael Nadal was more than a clay-court player

Iga Swiatek is confident that her game suits the hard court as well. Swiatek over the years has established herself as one of the best clay-court players, just like her idol Rafael Nadal.

Nadal, the best clay-court player of all time with 14 French Open titles, wasn’t just effective on the red dirt as he has clinched multiple majors on all surfaces. Swiatek too wants to follow in his footsteps and win the four Majors.

It was the same with Rafa. Everybody always talked about clay, but like he’s the GOAT (greatest of all time) basically on every surface. Also winning Wimbledon twice.

Iga Swiatek told The Athletic

Swiatek, the four-time Grand Slam champion, so far has clinched just one Major title on the hard court (2022 US Open). She is a quarterfinalist at Wimbledon and also never progressed to the final at the Australian Open.
