Iga Swiatek kept world number one rise on the same level as her French Open win in 2020, but the 20-year-old pole says she feels better prepared to handle the pressure of her latest career milestone. Sweetek, who will replace retired Australian Ash Barty as number one when the rankings are updated on Monday, is a largely unknown 19-year-old ranked 54th in the world to regain celebrity status following her win at Roland Garros .

But she found it extremely difficult to adapt to her newfound fame in Poland and struggled to keep up with the increasing demands of the media and sponsorship deals.
“There’s more excitement, because after winning Roland Garros – I can really compare these two experiences, it’s on the same level – I got very skeptical and I really didn’t know what was going to happen and how I’m going to handle it,” Sweetek told reporters in Miami on Monday.
“But right now I feel more prepared and I feel like I’m in a better place. So there’s more excitement and more satisfaction and really positive thoughts and feelings. Because after Roland Garros, it was really a mess. “
Sweetek credits his work with sports psychologist Daria Abramowicz for his improved mental strength. While Haar once felt like his world was falling apart, Dhruv says he is now better prepared to deal with adversity.
Monday’s 6-3, 6-1 victory over teenage American Coco Gauff marked a career-best 14th win for Swietec, who has already won WTA 1000 titles in Doha and Indian Wells this season.
“After Roland Garros, we’ve also started preparing for success, and … there’s going to be tough moments and there’s going to be an enormous amount of pressure,” Sweetek said.
“I am doing well cutting the expectations from outside. For me, it was always harder to deal with my own expectations than what I had for myself.”
