Swiatek: "It's obvious that by spending more time on the practice courts, my game will evolve"
Iga Swiatek is anticipated at Indian Wells. The Polish player, ranked number 2 in the world, hopes to bounce back in California in a tournament where she is currently the defending champion.
A semifinalist at the Australian Open and then in Doha, Swiatek fell in the quarterfinals in Dubai against Mirra Andreeva.
Swiatek, who hasn't won a title since last year's French Open, hopes to return to success very soon.
To achieve this, she discussed in an interview with The Tennis Gazette what she is looking to improve in training with her new coach, Wim Fissette.
"We're working a little differently, going back to the basics. With Wim, we're focusing a lot on my footwork, on my movement, and on my ability to recover from difficult defensive positions to win a point.
It's obvious that by spending more time on the practice courts, my game will evolve. In recent years, I've learned to be an aggressive player.
And the player who takes the first chance in the rally to press forward often puts herself in a favorable position.
I always have to remember what truly is my greatest weapon," she assured.
