It has been nearly two months since Iga Swiatek last returned home to her new apartment in Poland. Since then she has barely had a moment to breathe. After leading her country to victory away in Switzerland at the Billie Jean King Cup in mid-April, the world No 1 became the first player to win the Madrid and Italian Opens since they were extended to successive two-week events last year, a feat requiring laser focus across four weeks.
Then came Roland Garros, the big one. Over the past two weeks Swiatek has marched past opponents without hesitation, establishing a 20-match winning streak as she returns to the final.
