Shaky Swiatek vows fast-track changes
Iga Swiatek has a handful to days to get a grip on her tennis after losing as holder on Saturday in the third round of the Rome Masters.
The former No. 1 who will find herself on fourth after going down 6-1, 7-5 to Danielle Collins, said she has already spoken with her team about mental and possibly other changes before the Roland Garros start on May 25.
“For sure I’m doing something wrong. So I need to just regroup and kind of change some stuff,” the winner of five Grand Slam titles – four at the French Open – said.
“I had some advice from the team.. I’ll just try to do this. We talked and came to some conclusions.
“I’m just going to change my mindset a little bit ….”
The Pole delved deeper into her current difficulties: “I just wasn’t there, present to, like, fight and to compete. I focused on mistakes.
‘It’s my mistake, and I’m not doing things right. the focus is on the wrong things from my side and I’ll try to change that.”
