Swiatek enjoys playing on clay and she’s played well in Madrid in the past however last year saw her withdraw due to a minor injury. She’s back this year and fresh off of winning Stuggart, the Polish player hopes to continue her good play. She expects this event to be a good challenge with the altitude and all:
“Madrid is tricky with the altitude, so I’ll see. I’ve only played twice at altitude. I may be world No.1 but I don’t have as much experience in tennis as you may expect. So I’m just going to see. My coach is a guy with a lot of knowledge. So I’m sure he’s going to help me manage that properly and get used to the conditions faster than I did in 2021.”
