Being a world-class athlete means that the public generally expects serious results from you and that you are consistently among the best in the sport you play. Iga Swiatek, tennis star and world number two, will be competing in Seoul this week, but she doesn't seem happy as many consider her the favourite.
The popular tennis player will make her debut in South Korea at the Korea Open as the first seed, but in an interview with the media she shared caution, aware that the title of favorite does not guarantee anything.
The 24-year-old pointed out that it is important to go step by step and focus on the first match, because looking too far into the future can spoil plans.
Winning at Wimbledon
The Polish tennis player has had several notable results this season, primarily winning Wimbledon in July. Although she lost to Amanda Anisimova in the quarterfinals of the US Open due to foot problems, the 24-year-old confirmed that she now feels physically great and is pain-free.
The most important thing is that pain is no longer a part of her everyday life, which could guarantee Iga's success in the tournament.
In any case, it will be interesting to see how much the famous tennis player can do in this tournament.
