JAKARTA - Victory at the US Open has made Iga Swiatek even more confident that there is no limit for him to pursue achievements and regain the Grand Slam title in any tournament.
Swiatek is known as a clay field specialist. Evidently, of the three Grand Slam titles won, two of them were obtained at Roland Garros. He also won two WTA clay tournaments in Stuttgart and Roma this year.
However, the Polish was able to beat Flushing Meadows' hard field to claim his second Grand Slam title this year after beating Ons Jabeur in the US Open final last week. The win seemed to be the start of a new era of women's tennis after Serena Williams.
His US Open title and his win at the French Open last June completed seven tournaments he won this year, including 37 consecutive wins he recorded to finally dominate WTA's top ranking.
The 21-year-old said that victory in New York was a psychological turning point for his game. As a tennis player who likes to compete in clay, Swiatek hopes to be comfortable playing with any type of field.
"At the start of the season, I realized maybe I had good results in the WTA tournament. I also advanced to the Australian Open semifinals," he said, quoted by Antara from AFP, Tuesday.
"But I'm not sure I'm in a level game to win a Grand Slam title, especially the US Open which has a fast surface field."
"Winning is not what I thought before. This is also proof for me that there is no limit to achieving achievements," he concluded.
