"Failure in the soil season, especially in Rome - where I played completely under my strength, really cold water, helping me awake and understand that immersed in the past is not a way forward ," Swiatek told The Times on August 3. "There was a time, negative thoughts on the pitch eroded my confidence, causing me to fight myself, not the opponent ".

Leaving aside the disappointment in the soil season, Swiatek "transformed" at Wimbledon and won Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the final to win. According to Swiatek, she dismissed anxiety and psychological pressure thanks to Daria Abramowicz. The two have been working together since 2019, with the intimate level that has been strengthened in the past 12 months.

This relationship is increasingly durable by Abramowicz, helping Swiatek to overcome the most difficult time of her career when she receives a banned sentence because of positive for banned substances last year. The problem of doping haunted Poland even when she had completed the suspension time. The falling form made Swiatek lose the world's number one position, falling to the eighth. But more worrying is the negative comments she had to receive from the tennis village. "The atmosphere is not pleasant ".

In addition to psychological advice from Abramowicz, Swiatek also has other options that make himself busy when not playing, it is reading literature and playing lego. According to Swiatek, reading is a way to relax and turn time to become quality while attending the tournament. "Instead of just playing for the joy with tennis or my own interests, I now step on the pitch and the purpose of prove that everything is fine to me.".

After Wimbledon, Swiatek's performance showed signs of instability when she was eliminated in the fourth round of Canada. The number two seeds lost to Clara Tauson 6-7, 3-6 nights 3/8.
