It’s much, much more comfortable, Swiatek told Eurosports Mats Wilander about the trip to Wimbledon without expectations.

I’m not the kind of person who looks at all sorts of stuff. Although there was a huge amount of noise around the places, my own expectations were a problem.

While I did well, I think I’m the defending champion in the semi-finals to show that I’m consistent. That’s great.

That was my goal for the season. Right now, I can play without expectations and its refreshing. It’s something new to me, so I like it.

Swiatek was the 2018 youth champion at Wimbledon and will be in action on Monday’s first day against Su-Wei Hsieh.

The Pole defeats the clay against his opponent, but Hsieh has experienced the grass.

It’s going to be awkward, with all the slices and shallow balls, Swiatek said.

I remember when I played here at Roland-Garros, my main goal was to stay low. I don’t think it really matters.

I just hope I enjoy the game and the game. Sometimes it’s hard to put all the skills on the lawn, but I try to find my way and it’s good to get a chance.

It’s going to be hard because he’s experienced the grass, but I’m looking forward to it.

I just love being. Even though I only play one match in 2019, I think it can be different, he added.

I know how much progress I have made. I’m kind of a smarter player. Well, how are you, but I’m excited.

As players retreat from the Olympics left, right and center in recent weeks, Swiatek revealed its intention to perform in Tokyo in 2020.

Swiatek has even softened the workload to make sure he’s perfectly suited for games starting in Japan next month.

Before the Olympics, we’re training a little down, he explained.

I don’t tend to play doubles here [at Wimbledon]. I’m at the Olympics, so it’s exciting.

We thought at Roland-Garros that it might be a good idea to just play singles and save energy for the rest of the season.

Basically, that’s my goal for the rest of the season, I don’t know how I’m going to go to tournaments in October.

It’s weird to think about it now because they were in the middle of summer. We were going to see. I wanted to save energy for sure.
