Iga Swiatek has not started the grass court tour in the best possible way. Debut and farewell, a simple story for the Polish player at the WTA Bad Homburg 2026. It wasn't easy for her: her first match was against Emma Navarro, who, after a turbulent start to the year, has been finding her tennis form in recent weeks: the American showed a lot of composure to recover after a poor second set and capitalized on her greater experience on grass to blank Iga on German soil (7-5, 2-6, 6-3).

There were doubts about how Iga's return would be: her performance in the Roland Garros round of 16, where she lost to Marta Kostyuk, was far from the dominant version of the Polish player on clay. Far from finding her identity, lacking a clear game plan to trouble her opponents, the Central European saw her gap widen as the decisive set progressed, increasing uncertainty ahead of Wimbledon.

Should we be concerned about Iga Swiatek?

The scenario that Iga will now face seems to be absolutely devastating. After all, Swiatek's most immediate challenge is to defend the 2,000 points from last Wimbledon, where she triumphed after a flawless final against Anisimova. As a prelude to that tournament, her performance in Bad Homburg was magnificent, being only stopped by Jessica Pegula in the final.

Now, Iga's form heading into London is diametrically opposed: little continuity, a lack of patterns in her baseline play, a serve that is not working, scarce match rhythm on grass, and of course, the indirect pressure of those soon-to-be-defended points. Low expectations... which might be exactly what Iga needs to resurge once and for all. Her ranking certainly does.
