Sunday May 28 starts Roland Garros and the participation of Iga Swiatek still doubting. The 21-year-old Polish, world number 1 of WTA rankingwithdrew on Wednesday from their quarterfinal match of Rome in the view of Rybakina due to an injury to the right thigh. For this reason, Swiatek made a statement in which he still cannot guarantee his presence in the land of Paris, where he intends to defend the scepter achieved last year. He made it clear that he will not risk his physique to defend the crown and that the most important thing is to “play it safe.”
“For me, the most important thing is to play safely and not exploit my body too much in difficult conditions, after playing several matches in the night session and after midnight.”Swiatek said.
“To be ready for Roland Garros, for now I have to recover. I will rest for a few days. With my loss in the quarterfinals, I also had time to train before the tournament. I’m happy right now to have a few days off because since Stuttgart I haven’t been able to recover from the rigors of our WTA schedule,” she added.
“A couple of days stop and I already booked my flight to Paris, so… let’s cross our fingers, please! I hope to see you soon,” he also said on Twitter.
