Swiatek’s Interview
“At the beginning of the tournament, I wouldn’t even think about winning, honestly.
Of course you have to believe in yourself, but I’m a realistic person.
Winning after playing so well in Doha is giving me a lot of confidence and kind of belief that I can do it…I wouldn’t think of myself as someone who’s ready to play two tournaments in a row and win it. For sure hard work is paying off.”
