Swiatek Considering Skipping the Grass Season?
Iga Swiatek was decisively eliminated yesterday in the semifinals of the Madrid WTA 1000 by Coco Gauff. Still without a single title this year, the world No. 2 is displaying a confidence level far from what she showed in previous seasons.
The Pole was also affected by the death of her grandfather just before the start of the Madrid tournament. According to reports from the local media outlet Onet, she will take a few days off before heading to Rome, where she will defend the title she won last year.
As for the rest of the season, skipping grass-court tournaments—including Wimbledon—could be an option. Although her coach, Wim Fissette, has a plan in place to help her improve on this surface, everything depends on her results in Rome and at Roland-Garros.
The goal would be to take a break, allowing her to recharge away from tennis and return with a clear mindset before the US Open.
