Iga Swiatek's Olympic effort didn't end how most expected it to, but the world No. 1 says something positive will come from it all the same.
Swiatek penned an emotional debrief in the aftermath of her Paris campaign, where she rebounded from a stunning upset at the hands of eventual gold medalist Zheng Qinwen to capture a bronze medal, on her social media channels this week in which the 23-year-old promised that personal growth will come from her latest "chapter"—one that was full of a wide range of emotions.
"After a couple of days I feel ready to sum up this chapter. Joy, happiness, sadness, disappointment, satisfaction, hunger for more, pride and so many other emotions, thoughts ... I'm still figuring it out and I feel how valuable this experience was to me," Swiatek wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday.
"Maybe in the future I will assess these two weeks with a bigger picture and a better perspective, but I already see a lot."
