The season has ended for Iga Swiatek with a very bitter taste. After falling in the group stage of the WTA Finals, where she was defending the title, the World No. 2 made the effort to pack her bags and head to Malaga to compete in the Billie Jean King Cup 2024. It was unfinished business, as she had skipped the event in recent years, although this account will remain open after what happened this morning. Italy's Bronzetti, Paolini, and Errani prevailed over Poland a few moments ago, thus Swiatek's dream is put on hold until the next calendar. What did Iga say in her last press conference of the season?

Assessment after being eliminated

“Honestly, I think I have never been so tired before, especially after this last match we played. Still, I have no regrets, I fought for every point. Maybe there was a moment where I could have adjusted things a bit better, but I tactically made a mistake. Overall, I think we fought well until the end, we gave our all on the court.”

Victory against Paolini

“I don't think I was as consistent as in previous matches against her, at least in the recent games. In the Roland Garros final, for example, I didn't give her any space, whereas in the US Open, I didn't allow her to get into the match. Today I did, and that's why she took advantage. We are talking about one of the best players in the world; you can't do this against this kind of player if you want to win without problems. I think my energy level was very low in the second set; I couldn't recover until the third. I don't know why; I just felt better in the third set, but I think I could have done more.”

Focusing on the positive and learning from the rest

“I don't think I'll feel any strength tomorrow when I wake up; I feel like my whole body is sore. I definitely played some nice matches this week, although today I just tried to survive physically, but I'm happy that I kept my concentration in the two matches today even though in the previous round my game wasn't as perfect. They were very close matches; it was nice to win the singles in crucial moments, that's when I took advantage of my chances. Now I will start 2025 with new goals, I'm looking forward to it, as I didn't have much time to train with Wim (Fissette), so it will be good to try out new things.”

From 2024 to 2025

“I gained a lot of experience; I think this season was easier for me when it came to playing as the World No. 1 and bearing that burden. Last year I struggled a lot against that, but in 2024, I progressed a lot in this aspect. Certainly, the season looked very different for me from Roland Garros onwards, but the first part of the year was almost perfect. In the second part, there were more ups and downs, so I will need time to analyze everything and approach each tournament step by step.”
