Iga Swiatek went from maximum suffering against Taylor Townsend to total control against Karolina Pliskova. The defending champion of Wimbledon displayed a better version against the Czech, without the nerves of the debut, and rediscovering her tennis to achieve a comfortable victory by 6-1, 6-3. But the Filipino phenomenon, Alexandra Eala, awaits her in the third round.

In fact, the 21-year-old made headlines worldwide when she defeated the Pole against all odds in the quarterfinals of last year's Miami Open. Although the Warsaw native took her revenge a few weeks later at the Mutua Madrid Open. The head-to-head record is tied, making the duel between them more than interesting. Swiatek herself confirmed this in the press conference after her victory.

Swiatek, on the "challenge" of facing Eala at Wimbledon 2026

"I don't know much about her game on grass. Obviously, I can watch a bit. I know how she plays because we have already faced each other. She has a tricky game. I can assume that on grass, it will be even more difficult due to the surface. She will surely use her strengths, the change of pace, and all that. I will prepare and be ready. But it will be a good challenge for me because, yes, it doesn't give you that rhythm. I will have to be prepared for different types of shots."

Swiatek explains the reasons for her very convincing victory over Pliskova

"I am happy with the way I played. I was quite solid, focused, and consistent throughout the match, which makes me happy. I really can't compare these matches because, obviously, they were different opponents, different playing styles. I think today there was more rhythm. Taylor played a much tougher match, so sometimes it was harder to adapt to that."

"Today, I believe the conditions were what had to be taken into account. I felt I was more efficient and solid. I didn't make as many unforced errors. I used my momentum and confidence to keep going until the end of the match. With Taylor, obviously, in the second set, I lowered my level a bit. So different matches, different stories."

Swiatek explains the differences in the current Wimbledon grass compared to ten years ago

"The grass has changed. It's not just the flat hitters who win here because the ball also stays a bit more in the air after the bounce. It's not as slippery as it was ten years ago every time. I suppose there is more room for topspin players to be solid and have longer rallies. Obviously, I don't mind that."

"For me, balance basically depends on my decisions, because in the last few months, most of the matches I lost, I played them too fast and risky. I feel it has more to do with me than with the surface or the conditions," says Iga Swiatek, who is gradually gaining momentum in Wimbledon 2026.
