Swiatek barely make any mistakes as she soundly defeated American tennis player Liu in the second round at Indian Wells.
“For sure I’m happy with the performance,” Swiatek said. “It was a really solid match and I’m happy with how I adjusted to the wind because when we were practicing, it wasn’t that windy.
“Tactically and tennis-wise, everything was on point.”
She is now one step closer to defending her Indian Wells title and becoming the second American woman to successfully have back-to-back wins at Indian Wells, the first one was Martina Navratilova back in 1990 and 1991.
She is one of the favorites to win and she is enjoying the reception the fans have given her.
“I feel that, especially when I’m warming up, and when I’m like going near to the fan area, it’s pretty crazy, and I enjoy that for sure.
“On the other hand, I want to sometimes stay in my zone. In the match, it’s easier to do that because everyone kind of expects you to do that.
“Off the court, I’m trying to balance that a little bit more to give fans what they want. I appreciate their support.”
