Swiatek on Wimbledon woes
World No1 Iga Swiatek was asked about how determined she is to tackle her Wimbledon demons one day, having been dumped out by Yulia Putuntseva.
The Pole, 23, said: "I mean, if I would have another Wimbledon in two months, I would be really, really determined. For sure I'll focus really hard right now to work for it.
"It's going to be in a year, so I'm not sure what's going to happen in a year.
"Obviously I am determined, like, on every tournament. Actually, this part of the season is not easy because it's the middle of the season, we're switching surfaces.
"For me going from this kind of tennis where I felt like I'm playing the best tennis in my life to another surface where I kind of struggle a little bit more, it's not easy.
"All that stuff really combines to me not really having a good time in Wimbledon.
"Again, I feel like if I'm going to do a better job at recovering and if I will have more energy coming into the tournament, I can work through that and just, yeah, focus on the right stuff."

Djokovic survives minor scare
Just like England, the seven-time champion is also safely through.
Like England, he went behind by dropping the first set.
But he showed grit and determination to fight back and get the win.
He prevailed 4-6 6-3 6-4 7-6 and will take on talented young Dane Holger Rune in round four.
Djok's shot
Here is that Djokovic 'penalty' for you to enjoy...
Watch incredible moment Wimbledon centre court erupts as England beat Switzerland and even Djokovic can't help smilingPopyrin the penalty expert
So when England secured their passage to the final four, fans could not help but celebrate.
As the huge noise echoed around, Djokovic stepped back from his return position and wiped his forehead with his sweatband.
He then jokingly pretended to take a penalty - with his left foot rather than his troublesome right knee which has a grey support on.
And Popyrin hilariously mimed diving to attempt to save it.

Novak Djokovic's clash was temporarily halted on Centre Court - as English football fans celebrated the penalty shootout win.
England booked their spot in the semi-finals of Euro 2024 with a nervy 5-3 shootout victory over Switzerland following a 1-1 draw.
Trent Alexander-Arnold smashed home the winning spot-kick at 7.40pm.
At the exact same time, Djokovic was in the middle of the second set against Alexei Popyrin of Australia - having surprisingly dropped the opener.
Popyrin was about to serve at 1-4 30-30 when suddenly a massive cheer went up around the 15,000-seater stadium.
And that was because plenty of supporters inside the venue were keeping tabs on events in Dusseldorf.

Amid the excitement of England's penalty shootout win over Switzerland, there was actually some tennis going on at SW19.

But the Serb took the second 6-3 to level the match and has grabbed an early break in the third.

Zverev, 27, said: "It’s an incredible honour to play on this beautiful Centre Court and to play in front of the Royal Box.
“We have had so many great guests. For me, a football legend Pep Guardiola.
“When I saw Pep, I got so nervous for a few games there. Thanks a lot for coming, it's a great privilege, a great honour.
“By the way, last thing, Bayern Munich need a coach, man.
"And if you are tired of football, you can coach me on the tennis court anytime.”
A laughing Guardiola blew Zverev a kiss before waving and clapping the French Open runner-up.
Guardiola and Zverev met up behind the scenes at Wimbledon following Zverev's third-round win, where they chatted and posed for photos before the German gave the ex-Bayern boss a signed racquet.
Guardiola was then spotted carrying the frame back into the posh seats.

Pep Guardiola has been offered a shock new coaching job - in a different sport.
The Spaniard is one of football's most successful managers, winning 38 trophies with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City combined.
However, he made the most of the off-season by taking his wife and daughter to Wimbledon on Saturday.
And after watching Alexander Zverev beat Cameron Norrie on Centre Court, the German gave a shoutout to Guardiola during his on-court interview - before making the shock proposal to become his new coach.

Iga Swiatek has been knocked OUT of Wimbledon in the third round by Yulia Putintseva.
The Pole, 23, had gone into the match on a 21-match winning streak - winning three titles, including Roland Garros, in the process.
She has again failed to translate her dominance to the grass of the All England Club, however, despite winning the first set 6-3.
Recent Birmingham champion Putintseva succeeded in bamboozling the world No1 on No1 Court, getting the crowd onside with her tenacious display.
After losing the second set 6-1, Swiatek went for a lengthy bathroom break... and was BOOED upon her return.
Frazzled, she failed to ever really conjure her best level, ultimately going down 3-6 6-1 6-2.
Putintseva will advance to face Jelena Ostapenko for a place in the quarter-finals.
Ons Jabeur OUT
Two-time former finalist Ons Jabeur is OUT of Wimbledon, falling 6-1 7-6 to Elina Svitolina.
The popular Tunisian struggled to conjure her sparkling best form, and has been dumped out by the 21st seed.
Meanwhile on No1 Court, Iga Swiatek is in huge trouble! The world No1 trails Yulia Putintseva 4-0 in the deciding set.
More from Roger
“I’ve had some brutal matches against him, almost like 20 times, he was hard to play against. What a wonderful champion. He’ll always be remembered here as one of the all-time greats.
“Andy will go through it his way. He might struggle for a couple of years. Or the next day he might wake up and go, ‘This is the best thing, why didn’t I do this much earlier?’
“What you don’t want to have happened, which I had on maybe two occasions in the last year-and-a-half, is you sit on the couch at home.
“I have nothing to do, I am alone, the kids are in school, the wife is off doing something. This is a terrible feeling. So, I think it’s good to stay really busy.”

Iga Swiatek has been BOOED by the No1 Court crowd.
The Pole, 23, went for a lengthy bathroom break after losing the second set 6-1 to Yulia Putintseva.
Restless fans jeered Swiatek as she finally returned to the court.
And as she fiddled for a racquet, boos got louder for the world No1.
No1 Court is almost entirely behind the underdog now!
Andy Muzz be careful
Roger Federer describes himself as Andy Murray’s No1 fan – but he warned the Scot not to become a couch potato in retirement.
Federer, who is here at Wimbledon this week and embraced fellow father-of-four Murray before his emotional farewell, told the BBC: “Andy played through the difficult times in the last few years, with everybody saying he shouldn’t be doing it, maybe he should retire.
“People said, this is not what he is supposed to be. He’s not winning anymore.
“For him to keep going, I was always his No1 fan and supporter that he should be doing what he thinks is right.
“What he feels in his heart of hearts he should be doing. So, I’m happy that he kept on going.
“It was hard to watch on Thursday. I know exactly how he feels going through this whole process. We love the game equally so, so, so much."
Swiatek in trouble
Wow! World No1 Iga Swiatek is a set away from going out!
Recent Birmingham champion Yulia Putintseva utterly dominated the second set, levelling the match at 3-6 6-1.
Can Swiatek up her level to squeeze through?
The rain is back...
It is absolutely hammering it down at the All England Club!
Play has been suspended again on all outside courts, with the covers brought on.
The only matches we currently have on are Ons Jabeur vs Elina Svitolina and Iga Swiatek vs Yulia Putintseva.
On No1 Court in particular, the noise of the rain battering down on the roof is deafening!
Throwing it down
Oh my word.
The heavens have opened again over Wimbledon and it is absolutely throwing it down.
Brollies up, covers across, you know the drill.
Former finalist in trouble
Ons Jabeur has plenty of work to do if she is to reach a third consecutive Wimbledon final.
The popular Tunisian has been blown away thus far by Elina Svitolina, and trails the Ukrainian 6-1.
Can Jabeur find any way back?
The winner of this match on Centre Court will play Harriet Dart's conqueror Wang Xinyu.
World No1 in control
Iga Swiatek has taken the first set 6-3 against Yulia Putintseva on No1 Court.
The Pole, 23, was made to battle - saving a flurry of break points before serving it out.
Should she beat the recent Birmingham champion, Swiatek will face Jelena Ostapenko in a much-anticipated round four clash.
Oh this is sad
The big board at the All England Club has been updated to remove Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu's placard.
Just a reminder, the pair have withdrawn from the mixed doubles because Raducanu is struggling with a stiff wrist.
