What is the secret to IgA swiatekWimbledon’s success this year? There is no upside.
Paul has done the job, defending her movement and making sure she serves and return are weapons to put it in control of rallies. The rest is down to leave her muscle memory taken over.
“I think there is no room to overthrow here,” she said on Thursday after reached its first Wimbledon final with a 6-2, 6-0 hit Belinda Bencic in the Central Court.
If you know Swiatek, you know she always speaks to play instinctive tennis – intuition is the word she usually uses to describe it. She has not been able to do so in the past in Wimbledon, but they have all clicked in place this year in SW19.

We can foam it up to an extra practical time and focus on the move.
“I think it’s easier if you haven’t won Roland Garros and also if you had more time to practice,” said the five-time great champion, who will face Amanda Animova for the title on Saturday.
She will need her best instincts like American hit in the final, and now that she has reached her first Wimbledon final and won nine matches from ten at the bar this season, she will have a belief in the confidence to rely.
“You have to follow your instincts,” she said. “If this is going well and you can rely on them for sure if you feel comfortable, so this is some kind of fun in some way and unlike other surfaces where you have more time to build the rally or something else. When you are playing well, it’s easy to enjoy. But I would say this is the main difference.”
