Despite poor record, world No. feels she has the game for grass ahead of Wimbledon challenge
-
BERLIN With one eye on Wimbledon, world No. 1 Iga Swiatek came from behind to win her first grass-court match of the season at Bad Homburg on Monday, before saying she is focusing on "problem-solving" on the green surface.
Playing at the traditional SW19 warm-up tournament for the first time, the Pole survived a scare before defeating German world No. 58 Tatjana Maria in three sets, 5-7, 6-2, 6-0.
Maria broke Swiatek twice in the first set, taking advantage of a number of unforced errors.
But four-time Grand Slam champion Swiatek found her composure ahead of the second, winning the next two sets, dropping just two games.
The Polish star was clearly looking forward to the All England Club Grand Slam, which starts on Monday.
"She has a different game style," Swiatek said of her "tricky" opponent.
"But I'm pretty glad that I figured it out, because I guess problem-solving on grass is the most important thing.
"I really just wanted to look forward and think about what I could change.
