'We Know What We Are Doing': Iga Swiatek Shushes Naysayers With Wimbledon Crown
'For sure the past months, how the media sometimes describe me, and I've got to say unfortunately, Polish media, how they treated me and my team, it wasn't really pleasant," the champion added.
She expessed that they would let her be after her decimation job of Anisimova as the Pole double-bagled the American.
'I hope they will just leave me alone and let me do my job because obviously you can see that we know what we are doing, and I have the best people around me," the 24-year-old said.
'I have already proved a lot. I know people want more and more, but it's my own process and my own life and my own career," she added.
'Hopefully I'm going to have a freedom from them, as well, to let me do my job the way I want it," the Pole said.
Swiatek revealed that she enjoyed the event in the English Capital City right from the offing.
'Who would have expected that?" she said.
'It's something that is just surreal. I feel like tennis keeps surprising me, and I keep surprising myself.
'I'm really happy with the whole process, how it looked like from the first day we stepped on a grass court. I feel like we did everything for it to go in that direction without expecting it, just working really hard."
The Pole, who had never got past the quarterfinal at the prestigious Wimbledon event before this year, shushed all naysayers with her crowning moment at the iconic setting.
'For sure, it feels like the emotions are bigger because at Roland Garros I know I can play well, and I know I can show it every year," she said. 'Here, I wasn't sure of that. I also needed to prove that to myself," she said.
Swiatek was presented the Venus Rosewater Dish by the Princess Of Wales, Catherine, following her tiumph and the Pole expressed her admiration of the Royal Family.
'Overall the process of getting the trophy from her royal highness was something surreal," she said.
'Since I'm a kid, honestly I'm a big fan of the royal family. It was amazing. I really appreciate that. I'm really grateful that it was her royal highness giving the trophy," Swiatek signed off.

Watch: A special gift from the new #Wimbledon Champion to Their Royal Highnesses Prince George and Princess Charlotte 😁 — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 13, 2025 How Sinner Beat Alcaraz In Wimbledon Final? Sinner triumphed over Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in a thrilling final on Sunday, avenging his loss to the Spaniard in last month's French Open final. The hard-fought victory against the two-time defending champion on the renowned London grass courts made Sinner the first Italian to win a Wimbledon singles title. 'I would like to start with Carlos. An amazing tournament, but mostly thank you for the player you are," Sinner said. 'It's so difficult to play against you, but we have an amazing relationship off the court and on the court … keep going, keep pushing." The 23-year-old Sinner drew first blood in the first Wimbledon men's final contested by players born in the 2000s, breaking for a 3-2 lead. Alcaraz clawed back and hit a spectacular return at full stretch to clinch the opening set, celebrating by cupping his ear and soaking up the cheers. Sinner gained a break in the opening game of the next set, letting out a rare yell of 'Let's go" after winning a point en route to holding in a tight game before surging ahead 3-1 following a brief interruption when a champagne cork flew from the stands and landed on Centre Court. The top seed shrugged off the distraction, hit a running crosscourt winner to take the second set, and tightened his grip on the contest by unleashing a superb volley at the net to break for 5-4. He then held in the next game to seal the third set with minimal fuss. With shadows drifting across the main showcourt that had basked in bright sunshine, Sinner wheeled away to a 3-1 lead in the fourth set as Alcaraz began to show small signs of dejection. The world number one held firm from there to complete a famous victory. (With inputs from Reuters) view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
