Iga Swiatek calls herself a perfectionist, and she knows she has not been perfect at Wimbledon so far in her career. The grass-court tournament begins on Monday and is the only Grand Slam event where the 23-year-old from Poland has not made it past the quarterfinals.
Poland ’s Iga Swiatek plays a volley on the practice court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club ahead of the Wimbledon Championships, which begins on July 1st, in London, Friday June 28, 2024. Poland ’s Iga Swiatek holds the trophy after winning the women’s final of the French Open tennis tournament against Italy’s Jasmine Paolini at the Roland Garros stadium in Paris, France, Saturday, June 8, 2024.
“It’s hard. You have to err very little. Match her intensity. Play deep shots. Try to be aggressive whenever there’s an easier ball,” said Paolini, who is now ranked in the top 10 but hardly looked that caliber in the final. “But it’s not easy. It wasn’t for me, and it’s a challenge that is the most difficult thing in women’s tennis at the moment. How to do it? I don’t know.”
Specifically, that might entail using her serve and her volleys to accumulate more easy points on the slick surface. “You saw my one volley today that I was supposed get in — and it went out,” Swiatek said. “So this will, for sure, stay in my head.”
