She should stop listening to anyone," Connors advises Swiatek
Iga Swiatek is coming off a very disappointing clay season for her, with no titles won. She has dropped to 7th in the world rankings, her worst position in three years.
Jimmy Connors, on his podcast *Advantage Connors*, advises the Polish player to focus on herself and ignore the critics: "She shouldn’t listen to anyone anymore—outside criticism, outside voices who think they know.
She needs to stay in her element with her team and find a solution. Everyone goes through this, every player, no matter who they are.
She has a clear mind because of all this, and she’s doing everything she needs to take care of herself so her game and her mindset can become number one again.
