Iga Swiatek won another Roland Garros trophy a few days ago, but the 22-year-old still has many sporting dreams.
Swiatek achieved some of her sporting dreams early in life, becoming the WTA World No. 1 player just a few years after turning pro and winning a Grand Slam trophy at a relatively young age as well.
She recently won
her fourth major overall at Roland Garros, proving herself as a clay specialist once more. Obviously, achieving so much at such a young age changes future dreams.
The same happened to Swiatek, who held a Q and A session with Oshee, admitting that her dreams had changed in the last few years.
"Oh, that's a very difficult question, because my dreams have kind of changed over the last few years. It used to be mostly results and get to the WTA and be a player who, as they say, is consistent. But now, first of all, I would like to find a little more balance in what I do and be able to concentrate more on the process and not necessarily on the results."
This year's Roland Garros trophy was a very difficult one for the Pole, but being able to overcome that will certainly serve her well for next year. The reason is rather simple.
One of her sporting dreams might happen next year, and it's winning the Olympic Games. They will be held in Paris, and the tennis will be played on the Roland Garros courts on clay, a surface on which Swiatek has been dominant in recent years.
"But I must admit that in the back of my mind, there is still a dream to win all 4 Grand Slams on every surface and maybe a medal at the Olympic Games. I don't think about it every day because I'm just trying to concentrate on the process, but it's also my sporting dream."
The Olympic Games are clearly not her only goal, as she wants to win all four Grand Slams as well, but that seems to be a bit farther away right now.
It's mostly due to her grass tennis, which hasn't been up to par compared to the rest. She's aware of it, admitting that
she hasn't yet found a winning formula on the surface.
