PARIS : Iga Swiatek's laser focus at Grand Slams means she barely gets to celebrate her wins, but the French Open top seed said she is learning to mix business with pleasure after reaching the semi-finals at Roland Garros on Wednesday.
"I'd say I'm that a player who still has to learn to enjoy playing and winning, because when I finish matches, I usually just think about the next one. The moments of enjoyment are usually after the tournament," Swiatek told reporters. "These are the small things that help you keep a more positive attitude and energy. But usually with me, it's all about business and then I'll enjoy."
Haddad Maia overcame Swiatek in three sets on the hardcourts of Toronto last year and the Pole is aware of the big challenge ahead of her.
