Iga Swiatek glides past Collins to become live Wimbledon contender
One positive consequence from Iga Swiatek's relatively poor clay court run has been the benefit of added time. Instead of arriving for the grass court season exhausted from her efforts, for once she had additional time to train, work and adapt her game to the one surface she has yet to conquer. Swiatek's growing comfort was reflected in an efficient performance as she dismantled the dangerous Danielle Collins 6-2, 6-3 to reach the fourth round. Swiatek will face Clara Tauson. The 23rd seed upset the 2022 Wimbledon champion, Elena Rybakina, the 11th seed, 7-6 (6), 6-3. 'I was just in the zone,' said Swiatek. 'I knew what I wanted to play and I knew I needed to be brave and just let my hand do the job. Play fast and grab it from the beginning. You can't let Danielle play her winners. I'm really happy with the performance because there were no ups and downs.' After winning five grand slams, establishing herself as the most successful player of her generation and spending most of the past few years as the world No 1, the No 8 seeding next to Swiatek's name, reflective of her recent difficulties, looks very strange. The 24-year-old has not won a title since the 2024 French Open and has been open about how her perfectionism, one of her biggest strengths, has been her biggest weakness in recent months, often leading to her becoming overwhelmed by negative thoughts. Even though she was unable to win a fourth consecutive French Open title last month, it appeared to mark a turning point for Swiatek as she stopped overthinking and began to play with greater freedom again. Putting together a series of confident performances to reach the semi-finals, Swiatek left Paris after her defeat to Aryna Sabalenka feeling as if she had regained her confidence. While an exhausted Swiatek would usually prioritise rest after her triumphs at Roland Garros, often returning home to Poland for a few days and then playing catch up for the rest of the grass court season, this year she headed straight to Mallorca for grass court prep. Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend's action after newsletter promotion Her run to the final in Bad Homburg on the eve of the Championships, her first final of the year and her first final on grass, represented another good result despite her loss to Jessica Pegula. 'It's much more fun this year,' she said. 'I had some practices where the ball was listening to me, which was pretty new on grass. I'm just looking for that feeling for the matches as well and today was a good day. In Bad Homburg, I played many good matches so I'm getting confidence. It's a new experience feeling good on the grass.' There was plenty of subtext to this match. Last year, at the Olympic Games in Paris, the pair had an extended conversation at the net after Collins's retirement from their quarter-final. Collins revealed she had called Swiatek 'insincere' during their handshake. Collins has made it clear she does not care for Swiatek. In May, Collins was responsible for one of Swiatek's worst clay-court losses in recent years in the third round at the Italian Open. This time, however, the American had no response to an excellent performance. Swiatek served brilliantly, winning 86% of points behind her first serve. Despite holding on to only one break for most of the second set, she did not lose her serve all match. On her groundstrokes, Swiatek also struck her forehand brilliantly, constantly using it to dominate the baseline exchanges. She showed her increased comfort with her movement by effortlessly soaking up Collins's and forcing errors with her defence. With her spinny forehand, her preference for slower surfaces that afford her more time on the ball, her serving struggles and the general challenge of moving well on grass, there are countless reasons why Swiatek has struggled to produce her best on the surface. Many different players and playing styles are capable of thriving on these more forgiving modern courts. Sometimes you just need time.

Iga Swiatek reveals how she eats strawberries and cream and says ‘Wimbledon is going to ban me' over controversial take
IGA SWIATEK has revealed that she likes to eat her strawberries and cream with PASTA. Wimbledon is renowned for its famous sweet treat - with around 200,000 portions sold each fortnight. 3 But now, All England Club punters are being introduced to pasta and strawberries. Earlier this week, Swiatek posted a picture of her interesting dish, captioning it: "come in guyssss, this is (Poland flag) speciality." Following her dominant 6-2 6-3 win over Danielle Collins, Polish star Swiatek was asked more about strawberries and pasta. Grinning, the five-time Grand Slam champion said: "Why is it such a big thing? Everybody should eat that." The 24-year-old then added: "I think in summer, kids are eating it a lot. I don't know. It's just a perfect mix of tastes, so... "It is a Polish thing, right? We have great strawberries in Poland, as well." Quizzed on whether Poland has better strawberries than England, Swiatek added: "I think Poland. Because we have better climate for strawberries, right? "Now Wimbledon is probably going to ban me from answering these questions. "No, the strawberries are great here, as well. They are different. But they are great, as well." On the subject, Swiatek concluded: "Pasta fits everything. But strawberries are the best one, I would say." Moment Wimbledon ball kid is clattered by tennis star as huge row erupts with umpire The former world No1 had been on a collision course with ex-Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina. But the Kazakh star threw in a shocking performance to lose to Clara Tauson yesterday. On the threat that the Dane poses, Swiatek added: "Well, for sure it's going to be challenging. "When she plays well, she can hit great serves, amazing winners. She has great touch. She's really talented. So for sure there's a reason she's in the fourth round. "I haven't watched her matches because I'm not watching a lot. "For sure I'm going to prepare tomorrow and I'll be ready. It's going to be a challenge, for sure." 3

He said: "It's nice to get back on the winning stage and getting trophies again, but I felt like I was a bit frustrated all the way through that game. Gerwyn Price reveals darts rival who rattled him most and it led to awkward moment on stage "I was trying too hard to get a leg in front and trying to break him but in the end I've done it. "I missed a couple of match darts where I was probably 7-6 up where I could've lost it but double-double finish. "I missed loads of doubles and kept Stephen in the game. "But I played really well against Rob, I was a bit frustrated with myself in the final but that's the way it goes sometimes. "I played really well against Chris (Dobey), Rob (Cross). Got frustrated but I won and that's all that matters... otherwise I'd beat myself up for a couple of days."
