Nothing seemed able to stop the upward trend of a Iga Swiatek who was emerging, at just 23 years old, as a historic tennis player. But the improvement of Sabalenka, her close rival, certain issues of consistency outside the clay courts, and the noise generated by her doping positive test have made the Polish player start this season with much to prove. Her words at the United Cup 2025, after leading Poland to the quarterfinals, attest to her eagerness to return to the top level.

Reclaiming the crown of women's tennis and showing that she can reign on fast courts are very important incentives for Iga Swiatek heading into the upcoming 2025 Australian Open. However, it is also about making people talk about her achievements on the court, not in the courtroom when avoiding a more severe penalty for her doping violation. Her performances at the United Cup 2025 have been spectacular, giving her a lot of confidence.

- Swiatek states that she is regaining the best feelings in her game

"I am very pleased with my game; I have felt again how my intensity prevailed until the end, and I have been able to overcome difficult moments while maintaining a very high level of tennis for a long time. That's what all tennis players seek, so it's great to feel this way already in the first week of competition," Iga commented after defeating Karolina Muchova in two sets, a challenging opponent due to the pace changes she can make.

Asked about what is most important in the preparation phase of a Grand Slam like the 2025 Australian Open, the Polish player is clear. "It is difficult to organize in order to reach the best possible level there because the tournament lasts two weeks and has many peculiarities. The key is to adapt well to the conditions in Melbourne, gain confidence in some previous event, and have a day of disconnection before competing there. I still have much to work on in all aspects; to play well in a Grand Slam, there is no master key, but everything must be under control," stated Iga Swiatek, who continues her journey in the United Cup 2025.
