Swiatek: "The last few weeks have not been easy"

Iga Swiatek overcame Alexandra Eala in her opening match at Madrid, despite losing the first set. This was a revenge match against the Filipino player after her defeat in Miami. In the post-match press conference, she spoke about adjusting to the local playing conditions: "This was my first match here, and as far as I remember, it has never been easy to adapt to the altitude. During my first practice sessions here, it was much colder. Yesterday, it was warmer, but we only had an hour, so it wasn’t exactly the same feeling as what I experienced during the match. When you don’t start well, sometimes it takes a bit longer to find your game, but I managed to do it, so I’m happy about that. I know how I can play, and I wasn’t playing my game. But honestly, I don’t know, the last few weeks haven’t been easy in general, so I’m trying to relax and focus point by point. I’m trying to regain some confidence and not overthink past matches and points. I know I’m close to finding my rhythm. I felt like I was close in Stuttgart. So, I’ll try to focus point by point." She will face Linda Noskova in the third round.
