Iga Swiatek opens up on people “judging” as she juggles Australian Open pressure

Iga Swiatek has opened up on her struggles to deal with pressure ahead of the Australian Open. Swiatek headed into the opening Grand Slam of the campaign in Melbourne after a hugely succesful season in 2022.

With talent of course comes pressure, and for the Pole this sort of attention at the very top of the game can often be very tricky to deal with.
