Swiatek before Warsaw: "Little pre-season"

Swiatek had built up a winning streak of 37 matches over the course of the year, which only came to an end in Wimbledon, where she lost in round 3 to Alizé Cornet.

After Wimbledon she took a break and then trained hard, according to Swiatek , who spoke of a "small pre-season" before Warsaw. "Physically, I feel great." Mentally, however, the days were challenging, also with regard to the charity game at the weekend in Kraków - here Swiatek played against Agnieszka Radwanska and collected more than 420,000 euros for Ukraine .

Swiatek now meets lucky loser Gabriela Lee in Warsaw.
