“For sure it's a calendar thing. Like, we're not going to be able to be consistent for many years playing week by week. But I feel like for sure the calendar is not helping, again, like, we need to switch continents, we need to switch surfaces, we need to switch the balls. Yeah, it's not easy. Honestly, I'm not that direct usually, but I would blame this performance on the lack of practice before because I didn't have time," Iga Swiatek said.
