Iga Świątek responded to media reports during a press conference before the WTA 1000 tournament in Rome. One of the journalists decided to ask the Pole about her participation in Wimbledon. "I don't understand it. In the media, especially Polish media, there are many theories about me that are not true. I think you like to write articles that simply attract people's attention. I understand that this is part of your job," the 23-year-old emphasized.

The tennis player assured that she has no intention of giving up participation in the Grand Slam tournament in London. "There are no plans to miss Wimbledon. I would like to learn to play better on grass and every year is another opportunity to do so," she said. "I will definitely play in Wimbledon, unless I get injured before the tournament," she added.
