The 2024 edition of Wimbledon continues on Wednesday, July 3, 2024 with the second round at Wimbledon in Wimbledon, England.
“I would lie if I would say I’m not nervous, because everybody is, I think. There is a lot of pressure, especially when you play well and you already know that you can achieve this step; people are expecting it to happen again and again and again,” said Iga Swiatek, who just won her fifth major championship at the French Open and is seeded No. 1 at Wimbledon. “You need that stress to get you on the right level of motivation and readiness.
“I always feel a lot more nervous during the first round of Slams, just because I want to do well so badly, and the first round is the first round, so you kind of almost feel like the tournament didn’t even start and you’re out if you lose,” four-time major champion Naomi Osaka said. “That’s, for me, what I feel. Growing up, the Slams were the tournaments that I watched on TV the most. I just want to be here for as long as I can.
Part of what can get into the heads of higher-ranked players is the notion that not only are they hoping to through the first round, but everyone else is expecting that outcome, too.“If there’s not that much expectation on you, no one’s really going to think twice if you lose in the first round,” said Taylor Fritz, the No. 13 seed. “Going out in the first round, you’re thinking how it would be the worst thing ever. It’s a weird thing. It comes and goes.
