Swa: No.2 Rome sends bagels to anime, analyzing the journey of my mind, I always dare not succeed at critical moments

This is part of the original text translated from the WTA official website. The original title is: Swiatek back on familiar ground, and back in business in Rome "Svaatek returns to the familiar Roman stadium and rejoins the competition". The author is from Greg Garber, WTA official website columnist.

Svatek has changed coaches many times and lost the world No. 1 championship. It has participated in 8 events and one championship in 1 championship, but she still maintained a record of at least the top 8.

Svatek: Obviously, I am still satisfied with my persistence. This is something I always wanted. There is no match I haven't prepared for. I feel like I've been consistent like I did in previous years. But, obviously, I also want to win some games, which is also the goal.

For Svatek, Rome was where her dreams began. She has won three championships in the past four years, and the performance started in the 2025 season is quite difficult. However, on Thursday, in the second round of the WTA1000 Rome 2025 women's singles, Svatek made her debut. It took less than an hour, 6-1, 6-0, crushing the host wild card player Coccato, as if she gave her anger a sigh of relief for the gloom of losing the championship repeatedly.

Svatek scored 28 points with 35 servings and did not face a break point. She won Roma's 18 sets in a row + the 9th Baglitter (6-0). At present, Svatek has sent 33 bagels in the WTA1000 event, tying Azarenka's report card.

Round 3, Svatek will face No. 29 Collins on Saturday.

Svatek: In one month, you feel that your forehand is not good, and in another month, you feel that your forehand is not good. Then, you need to find that feeling. I want to say that is different, the change is really different.

In 2023, I remember I was a little anxious in the first half of the season. In 2024, I value the Olympics a little too much. This year, I feel like I'm struggling with perfectionism or something. I definitely want to focus on tactical discipline on the field and make the right choices, rather than the years that suddenly popped up from my head.

I am trapped by concentration. My pace is not good either. I think everything needs to be rebuilt. This is what the scores show. Just like one day. You can't judge everything based on this.

I will continue the work I am currently doing. I believe in the process. We will see the next event. I love and hate my perfectionism.

Sometimes on the court, on a certain ball, I feel like I can play a spinning forehand or my powerful backhand. When I was a little hesitant, I made a mistake. This is different, which makes me confused.

I feel like I will have a good result. I will do something with great excellence. I just need to go further and not let some idea interfere with me. I've been doing this and we'll see what the situation will be like in the end.
