In her post-match interview, the former Roland Garros winner expressed her excitement to be in Australia, which is home to one of her favorite bands, AC/DC. Speaking about the city’s rich music culture, the Pole said she hoped to catch a few shows in the future, once the pandemic comes to and end.
When asked about her favorite AC/DC track, she was quick to respond, “Thunderstruck.”
The World No. 9 has often spoken about her fascination for old-school rock music. In an interview published by the WTA tour at Roland Garros in 2019, she revealed she listened to Thunderstruck by AC/DC to get pumped up for matches.
“This season my expectations are to not have many expectations” - Iga Swiatek
Iga Swiatek shot to fame in 2020, when she clinched her first Grand Slam title at the age of 19. She entered the Roland Garros draw unseeded and became the first Polish player to win a Major, doing so without dropping a set.
However, Swiatek has not had much success at the Majors since. In a recent interview with the BBC, the 20-year-old said she needed to “chill out” after her maiden Slam title and lower the expectations on herself.
The Pole believes she can perform consistently as long as she keeps her expectations in check.
