World No. 1 Reflects on Olympic Gold Quest

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek expressed that her bronze medal victory at the Paris Olympics with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Slovakia's Anna Karolina Schmiedlova was a dream come true, despite facing immense pressure and stress throughout the week. Swiatek admitted to having one of the worst losses of her career in the previous round, realizing she was not just playing for herself but for her entire country. The Polish star acknowledged not playing her best tennis and struggling with the unique once-every-four-years nature of the Olympic Games, in contrast to the professional tour.
