MELBOURNE : Iga Swiatek said she needed to reset and rediscover some of the fighting spirit she showed last year after the top seed crashed out of the Australian Open fourth round following a 6-4 6-4 defeat by Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina on Sunday.
"I felt today that I don't have that much to take from myself to fight even more. I felt I took a step back in terms of how I approach these tournaments and I maybe wanted it a little bit too hard," Swiatek told reporters."I felt the pressure and I felt that I don't want to lose instead of I want to win. So that's a base of what I should focus on in next couple of weeks.
"Before the U.S. Open I was actually able to kind of let it go because I played pretty bad in Toronto and Cincinnati, and that helped me to reset and just start the U.S. Open without actually expecting much from myself," she added.
