That admission will offer hope to her rivals but the bad news is the 21-year-old has done a pretty good job of figuring everything out so far in her stunning early career.

Those were on hard courts and clay and the switch to the All England Club lawns will be a stern challenge. "Honestly I still feel like I need to figure out grass.

Last year, for sure, it was that kind of tournament where I didn't know what to expect," Swiatek told reporters on Saturday. "Then match by match I realised maybe I can do more and more.
