Iga Swiatek has not yet ended her season. After falling in the group stage of the WTA Finals, the Polish player will compete this weekend with her country in the promotion phase of the Billie Jean King Cup against Romania and New Zealand. However, she can already summarize a 2025 that has been a rollercoaster.

Nevertheless, this season of Iga Swiatek will always be remembered for her unexpected victory at Wimbledon, as it is not her favorite surface, and she was coming off a poor clay court swing, a time of year when she usually displays her best tennis. Therefore, before playing with her country, she recalled that moment in an interview with Polsatsport.

Happy to represent her country again

"From the beginning, when we found out that the Billie Jean King Cup would be held in Poland in November, we decided that I would probably play, if my health allowed it, so here I am. I am ready and very happy to be part of this."

"Playing in November is a great opportunity for me. After finishing my WTA season, I can fully dedicate myself to the national team and be here at 100%, without thinking about the fact that I have another tournament to play later."

Iga Swiatek reminisces about her great success at Wimbledon

"If someone had told me that this year I would win Wimbledon, I wouldn't have believed it. This season is even more special for me thanks to this victory in London. In short, it was a dream come true and something I didn't expect, which makes me even happier. I played there with no expectations, just focused on executing the plan we had set as best as possible and repeating what I had achieved in practice."

"This pre-Wimbledon preparation period was the most solid compared to previous years on grass, so the results were immediately visible, and we will use the same system to prepare for Wimbledon in the coming years."

The importance of Grand Slams for her and her obligation to give her best

"Without a doubt, they are the most important tournaments for any tennis player, but during the season, like in other sports, it is not possible to reach peak physical level at a specific time. The truth is that our most important tournaments last two weeks, so many things can happen, and that's why I approach each competition with the mentality of winning and giving 100%."

"But whether it's an ATP 250, 500, or a Grand Slam, I will always be fully focused, but it's clear that Grand Slams are more valuable when you actually win them, although they are also more challenging because many people solely focus on them."

About playing another mixed doubles tournament with Hubert Hurkacz

"The time of playing doubles and mixed doubles to learn and improve in singles is over for me. Now I play more for fun. In 2021, it was a year of learning for me. Now, I am clear that I won't be a doubles player, and my priority is singles. However, whenever I have the opportunity to play with Hubert Hurkacz, I will take it, as long as it doesn't interfere with my singles participation," says Iga Swiatek who still cannot fully grasp her title on the grass of Wimbledon.
