The 20-years-old Pole will face a difficult task at the 2022 Roland Garros as everyone expects her to win the title at the second Grand Slam of the season.

World number 1, Iga Swiatek is currently on a 28-match winning streak and she managed to win 5 tournaments in a row. At the 2022 Roland Garros, she will attempt to win her sixth tournament in a row and also beat Serena Williams' match-winning streak which stopped at 34 for the American.

"I don't have any like goals set [like] reaching semifinal or a final," Iga Swiatek told reporters at Media Day at the Roland Garros. "I'm aware that this streak is something that may be coming to an end soon, so I don't want to be heartbroken when it's going to happen. I think being aware of that is pretty healthy."

"So I'm just going to again take it match-by-match, as I did at previous tournaments, and we'll see, honestly. I don't mind, because I already have so much points and I'm pretty happy with the last tournaments that I think this season is already a success for me."

"It is a completely different chapter because then I was just focused on improving my game on hard court. Semifinal was a great achievement for me and pretty solid, I showed a pretty solid game.

"But also, it shows that at the beginning of the season, semifinal was a great success. It's nice to remember what kind of goals I had at the beginning. So I'm not going to right now really be crazy and say that I'm only going to be happy if I win, because that's not true."

"I'm more relaxed, because as I was saying, I have so many points and I feel like my position in WTA, I have worked for it. I proved to myself and to other people that I can be at the top of the game. Before, I wasn't feeling that much confidence. So this year I feel much more peace."
