Despite having a brilliant year where she won the overwhelming majority of matches she played, Swiatek was glad it ended.

Iga Swiatek finished off her season with a loss at the WTA Finals to Aryna Sabalenka. It was not a good match from Swiatek and she spoke about her difficulty in staying motivated with the finish line so close: "I'm not gonna lie to you, I've been waiting for that moment."

"Because last week, basically it was pretty hard to see the finish line but still be fully motivated and ready for every match. On one hand, I'm sad that I lost, but on the other hand, I have one more day off. That's something on the bright side," continued Swiatek.

Nobody really expected her to have the seasons that she had and she shares that sentiment. Opening the season well at the Australian Open was positive but it was never supposed to unfold the way it did. For her, it's crazy:

"It's just crazy that it happens. It's that kind of thing that is gonna stay with you for the rest of your career. And it's something to be proud of. Even though I lost today, I'm going to try to enjoy everything."
