The Pole also went through an entire year without winning a title, but that changed at the Wimbledon Championships<\/a>.<\/p>\n Swiatek triumphed at the All England Club<\/a> after thrashing Amanda Anisimova<\/a> 6-0, 6-0 and she has not looked back.<\/p>\n Iga Swiatek<\/a> spent over two years dominating the WTA Tour<\/a> between 2022 and the first half of 2024.<\/p>\n But she began to struggle both on and off court as she did not claim any titles between June 2024 and July 2025.<\/p>\n Swiatek looked a shadow of her former self at times, but a change of coach and new approach to her game revitalised the world number two and she is now a Wimbledon champion.<\/p>\n Ahead of the US Open, Mats Wilander<\/a> thinks the change that resulted in her improved results was toning down her aggression on court.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Iga is more positive when it comes to her appearance on the court,\u201d Wilander told TNT Sports<\/a>. \u201cI like the way that she played at Wimbledon to begin with. I think that she played a little less aggressively.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think you have to be super aggressive all the time to win on either the men\u2019s tour or the women\u2019s tour. I think Iga has found her way again.\u201d<\/p>\n Swiatek has achieved plenty of success on clay, but she struggled on grass and quicker hard courts.<\/p>\n Prior to this season, Swiatek had reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon just once, and she had not won the Cincinnati Open.<\/p>\n A month after winning Wimbledon, Swiatek defeated Jasmine Paolini<\/a> to triumph in Ohio, and she is one of the favourites to claim the US Open<\/a>.<\/p>\n As he continued to analyse her game, Wilander thinks Swiatek has taken what worked for her on clay and adapted it to achieve success on quicker courts over the last months.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s, to me, playing a little bit more on the other surface, the way that she plays on clay. She\u2019s using the forehand, and sometimes plays it with a lot of top spin,\u201d Wilander explained.<\/p>\n \u201cI think she\u2019s taken a step back out of the court. Of course, in Cincinnati, where she won, the courts were playing so fast that you have to be super aggressive.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I think Iga, there is less of a chance that she\u2019s going to lose to a lower ranked player when she has a better attitude. I think she understands her game on other surfaces, the way that she understands her own game on a clay court.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the first time in over a year Iga Swiatek is heading into a Grand Slam in top…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":85230,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[810,7882,101,118,56,54,55,6545],"class_list":{"0":"post-85229","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-iga-swiatek","9":"tag-mats-wilander","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom","15":"tag-us-open"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85229\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/85230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Iga](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2229928609-1024x648.jpg\")
