Iga Swiatek achieved a great feat this year by winning Wimbledon 6-0, 6-0. Such a result in the Wimbledon final has not happened since 1911 and really speaks volumes about the dominance of the Polish player. However, many people wonder where Swiatek's confidence comes from and what is the reason for it.
Iga Swiatek's coach, Belgian Wim Fisette, revealed in a press conference how they prepared, especially surprisingthe public by saying that Iga did not have any confidence on the grass.
However, the tournament in Germany's Bad Homburg was a crucial moment, as it helped Iga finally understand that she really has potential when it comes to Wimbledon. Winning a Grand Slam is certainly the dream of every player, but the path to the final is thorny and requires enormous focus and faith.

Swiatek'scoach admitted in a media interview that he had watched Iga Swiatek's last two matches, against Bencic and Anisimova, several times.
Only the greats of this sport can finish a tournament in such style and Iga Swiatek truly is one of them.

"I felt like she had no belief or no confidence on the surface before, but that confidence and belief was growing day by day. And you know, if a player like Iga can grow her confidence day by day, like, there's a lot possible," he added.
