Iga Swiatek won another Roland Garros trophy a few days ago but the 22-year-old still has many sporting dreams.
Swiatek was able to achieve some of her sporting dreams pretty early in her life as the Polish player became world number one just a few years after turning pro while winning a grand slam trophy pretty early too. She recently won her 4th overall at Roland Garros trophy proving herself as a clay specialist once more.
Obviously, when you're very young and achieve some of your dreams there is going to be a change in what your dreams are. The same happened with Swiatek who had a Q and A session with Oshee admitting that her dreams did change 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 but being 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 the Olympic Games. They will be held in Paris and the tennis will be played on the Roland Garros courts on clay, a place where she was dominant in the past few 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 figured out a winning formula on the surface yet but a girl can dream.
