French Open 2025: Can Iga Swiatek still reign as ‘Queen of Clay’ at Roland Garros?

“My life went upside down in November. It wasn’t easy and wasn’t easy to accept afterwards.

“It took me a long time to do that, but now I feel like I have space just to work and hopefully I’m going to use that.

“I’m looking for a peaceful time and just waiting for it to happen.”

Swiatek was alluding to a series of issues that have cropped up this year.

In March, Swiatek was criticised for reacting angrily towards a ball boy at Indian Wells, then given extra security after being verbally abused by an “aggressive and taunting” fan in Miami.

She made a short trip back to Warsaw last month for the ******** of her grandfather before her Madrid Open title defence began.

During a heavy semi-final defeat by Coco Gauff, Swiatek broke down at a changeover and sobbed beneath her towel.

And in Rome, she was visibly upset during a brief chat with the media after a chastening third-round loss to Danielle Collins.

“For sure it hasn’t been easy. For sure I’m doing something wrong,” she said afterwards.

“I need to regroup and change some stuff.”
