I really want to stay humble and really focused on getting everything step by step: Iga Swiatek

Meanwhile, the champion, Iga Swiatek, expressed her optimism after winning back-to-back titles at the Mutua Madrid Open 2024 and the Italian Open 2024. She also talks about her next target of winning the French Open, which will start on May 26.

"After Madrid, I knew it wasn't going to be easy. I'm really happy that I was able to play consistently during the clay season. The final tournament is in front of us. I always enjoy playing here. These are hard seven matches that you need to win, so I don't take anything for granted. I'll just work hard as I did in Madrid and Rome, and we'll see.  I really want to stay humble and really focused on getting everything step by step. Grand Slams are different," Swiatek said.
