Pressure Related To The No. 1 Spot Was 'bit Overwhelming', Reveals Iga Swiatek
The Paris Olympics: Top-ranked female tennis player Iga Swiatek expressed that the pressure of defending her World No.1 status was overwhelming in the middle of the season. She added that Aryna Sabalenka would have been deserving of finishing the year at the top of the world rankings.
After winning her maiden WTA Finals title, Swiatek has reclaimed the World No. 1 spot that she had ceded to Aryna Sabalenka after her disappointing fourth-round loss at the US Open earlier this year. The Pole had been on top of the tree for 75 weeks from April 2022 to September 2023.
"It was certainly a demanding season that taught me a lot, and which makes me even more proud. This year-end result exceeded all my expectations. The fact that I came back to No. 1 and that it happened in Cancun with all the pressure and strange circumstances," Swiatek told Eurosport Poland.
