“My life went upside down in November. It wasn’t easy and wasn’t easy to accept afterwards.

“It took me a long time to do that, but now I feel like I have space just to work and hopefully I’m going to use that.

“I’m looking for a peaceful time and just waiting for it to happen.”

Swiatek was alluding to a series of issues that have cropped up this year.

In March, Swiatek was criticised for reacting angrily towards a ball boy at Indian Wells, then given extra security after being verbally abused by an “aggressive and taunting” fan in Miami.

She made a short trip back to Warsaw last month for the funeral of her grandfather before her Madrid Open title defence began.

During a heavy semi-final defeat by Coco Gauff, Swiatek broke down at a changeover and sobbed beneath her towel.

And in Rome, she was visibly upset during a brief chat with the media after a chastening third-round loss to Danielle Collins.

“For sure it hasn’t been easy. For sure I’m doing something wrong,” she said afterwards.

“I need to regroup and change some stuff.”
