Iga Swiatek said she feels like a different player from a year ago and will go into her Italian Open title defence having cemented herself at the top of the women's game following a blistering start to the season.
Iga Swiatek was on a roll but decided to rest her shoulder when withdrawing from the Madrid Open late last month. She is back this week and ready to defend her Italian Open title, with the fortnight away from the WTA Tour – which included a stint at Rafael Nadal’s academy in Mallorca – seemingly allowing her to press the reset button. Ad/> «It's pretty weird because I really rested, then they almost killed me on the practices,» Swiatek told reporters in the Italian capital.
Iga Swiatek said on Monday she is feeling refreshed "mentally and physically" after missing last week's Madrid Open to rest a sore right arm. The Polish star is returning to action at this week's Italian Open, hoping to extend her 23-match unbeaten run.

Ukraine came up just short in a thrilling comeback bid on Saturday, falling 3-2 to the United States, who booked their spot in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. Trailing 0-2 to start the day, Ukraine had singles wins from Dayana Yastremska and Katarina Zavatska to pull level before Asia Muhammad and Jessica Pegula beat Yastremska and Lyudmyla Kichenok in the decisive doubles match 7-6 (7/5), 6-3. The final match capped an emotional week in Asheville, North Carolina, where Ukrainian players acknowledged it was hard to concentrate on the task at hand amid worry over family and friends at home during the ongoing Russian invasion. "I always like to represent my country but now at this moment it's, well, it's tough to describe it," Yastremska said after her 6-3, 6-4 victory over Pegula. "My heart stays at home, but my mind is here." At least the Ukrainians had moments to celebrate, including 201st-ranked Zavatska's 6-3, 6-4 upset of 46th-ranked Shelby Rogers that leveled the tie at 2-2.
