"It's weird because I’ve never been in such a situation" - Swiatek on starting season as world no. 1

| by Kadir Macar

It will be very difficult for Iga Swiatek to be even more successful in 2023 than she was in 2022 but that's not even her goal.

The young Pole finished the 2022 season as world no. 1 in the WTA Rankings with an enormous lead. She added two Grand Slam titles to her collection and six other titles. In 2023, she will be the player to beat for many of her rivals and entering it as no. 1 is something new for her. Speaking about her goals for the next season, Swiatek said:

"My main goal is to continue what I’ve been doing last year and not really come back to all these matches that I played, because that may really kind of make me lazy," Iga Swiatek told The National. "But still focus on just the next one and remember that in tennis anything can happen in any tournament."

"I just want to keep being consistent. But the specific goals I think they’re going to come when I’m going to be closer to the tournament," Swiatek added. "It’s kind of weird because I’ve never been in such a situation where I had such a great season. So for sure I need to approach next year a little bit differently."
