Former world No 2 and Polish legend Agnieszka Radwanska has told Tennis365 the \u201cproblem\u201d Iga Swiatek must overcome if she is to return to her best level.<\/p>\n
Swiatek\u2019s difficult 2026 season continued with a straight-set loss to Alex Eala in the third round at Wimbledon, where she was the reigning champion.<\/p>\n
The six-time Grand Slam winner holds a 23-12 record in 2026, giving her a win percentage of 65.7%, which is well below her career win rate of 79.3%.<\/p>\n
The Polish star had an outstanding win percentage of 88.2% in 2022, which is her career-best season to date, while she also won 87.7% of her matches in 2024 and 85% in 2023.<\/p>\n
Following her defeat at Wimbledon, Swiatek<\/a> said:\u00a0\u201cHonestly, I don\u2019t care anymore about the results. I\u2019ve been so focused on them that it\u2019s hard to continue like that.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I\u2019m really trying to, like, let it go. I don\u2019t have good results, so I\u2019m not going to expect for myself good results because they\u2019re just not happening. I\u2019m not on that level yet.<\/p>\n \u201cI need to work from the beginning and try to just get my tennis better.\u201d<\/p>\n Exclusive: Agnieszka Radwanska reveals what \u2018worried\u2019 her about Iga Swiatek\u2019s Wimbledon exit<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Iga Swiatek told that her \u2018fighting spirit\u2019 and \u2018positive attitude\u2019 are missing<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Want more from Tennis365?

I think she meant that she\u2019s focusing on her new tennis, only for going on court and showing the best tennis, so that\u2019s why she said that she\u2019s not really focusing on the results,\u201d said Radwanska.<\/p>\n \u201cBut obviously that always comes together, right? If you play good, the results come.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, now she\u2019s struggling a little bit with the confidence, and also with the results and [finding] her best tennis.<\/p>\n \u201cI think she\u2019s trying different things to help with her on court and to really show the same things that she\u2019s doing on the practice courts.\u201d<\/p>\n Radwanska, a Wimbledon finalist in 2012, also gave her verdict on whether Swiatek can get back to her best.<\/p>\n \u201cI think so, because she\u2019s such a great player. Actually, mentally and physically, it\u2019s all there,\u201d said Radwanska, who won 20 WTA Tour titles.<\/p>\n \u201cShe can still play great tennis, and I think she\u2019s still showing that on court.<\/p>\n \u201cBut now, the problem is, it\u2019s a lot of ups and downs during the match, and obviously when you\u2019re on the top and you want to win tournaments, those up and downs can be only for a little bit.<\/p>\n \u201cYou cannot lose a couple of games just like that, not being there mentally.<\/p>\n \u201cI think if she\u2019s gonna get there \u2014 and I think she will \u2014 we\u2019re gonna see her winning titles, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n Swiatek, who has spent 125 weeks as the world No 1, dropped to eighth in the WTA Rankings after Wimbledon, which is her lowest ranking position since February 2022.<\/p>\n The 25-year-old has not reached a final since she won the 2025 Korea Open 10 months ago.<\/p>\n READ NEXT: WTA Rankings Race: Andreeva still No 1 as Muchova, Noskova soar & Swiatek drops to 12th<\/a> The post Agnieszka Radwanska tells Iga Swiatek \u2018the problem\u2019 she must solve to get back to her best<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Former world No 2 and Polish legend Agnieszka Radwanska has told Tennis365 the \u201cproblem\u201d Iga Swiatek must overcome if she is to return to her best level.
