Iga Swiatek is currently in the semifinal of the WTA500 in Adelaide after Danielle Collins retired against her in the quarterfinal on a 6-2 3-0 scoreline. Iga Swiatek is widely considered one of the most promising players, especially after conquering the French Open in 2020 without losing a single set. However, that fame was difficult to handle for Swiatek.
Iga Swiatek and the French Open
During a recent interview, Iga Swiatek confessed that she was somewhat struggling with all the attention she received in Poland after winning the French Open. Swiatek said that she didn’t have much time for herself. However, Iga revealed that she had time to breathe during the quarantine imposed in Australia on their arrival.
“I didn’t see like a lot of people around, because at that time we had many restrictions and it was impossible to get like big gatherings,” Swiatek commented on Thursday.
“But I can see like a lot of support, like by media and TV and I feel like people really saw me for the first time and I gained popularity. So it was actually good that the pandemic is here, because it was really good for me and I could try to learn how to deal with it step by step. It’s going to be probably different when the pandemic is over, but I have this experience now.”
Iga Swiatek will play Teichmann in the semifinal. They have never competed against each other until now in top tournaments.
