Iga Swiatek's Wimbledon run fuelled by strawberries mixed with pasta
The Pole's less-than-stellar record on grass and a disappointing year thus far meant she arrived at the All England Club as something of an also ran. But being under the radar is suiting the former world number one just fine, and she progressed to the last 16 with a 6-2 6-3 victory against fiery American Danielle Collins. Pasta with strawberries 🍓@iga_swiatek's favourite meal is an interesting one 😂#Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 5, 2025 Afterwards, Swiatek revealed her diet this fortnight has included strawberries and pasta, a childhood favourite in Poland. The 24-year-old was perplexed by the attention given to her culinary choices, saying: 'Why is it such a big thing? Everybody should eat that. I think in summer kids are eating it a lot. It's just a perfect mix of tastes. We have great strawberries in Poland, as well. 'My dad adds the cream. And some sugar. I try to eat with yoghurt to at least pretend that it's a good meal.' Asked which country's strawberries were better, Swiatek admitted her answer might get her in trouble. 'I think Poland,' she said. 'Because we have a better climate for strawberries, right? Now Wimbledon is probably going to ban me from answering these questions. The strawberries are great here, as well. They are different. But they are great.' Swiatek is a former junior champion but she has often cut an uncomfortable figure at Wimbledon, weighed down by the pressure of expectation on a surface that is not natural to her. But this year the Pole is only seeded eighth, while she found her feet on grass by reaching the final of the warm-up event in Bad Homburg last weekend. She never looked in the slightest trouble against Collins, who has beaten her twice in the past, including on her favoured clay this year in Rome. There is little love lost between them, with Collins, who reversed a decision to retire at the end of last season and start a family because of fertility issues, criticising Swiatek for 'fakeness' in her reaction after pulling out injured during their clash at the Olympics last summer. Collins is renowned for her feisty attitude on court and earned headlines around the world at the Australian Open in January when, after beating home hope Destanee Aiava in a hostile atmosphere, she blew kisses to the crowd and slapped her bottom. 'Every person that's bought a ticket to come out here and heckle me or do what they do, it's all going towards the Danielle Collins Fund,' she said. 'Me and my group of girlfriends love a five-star vacation.' A mid-afternoon Centre Court crowd in SW19 is about as big a contrast as it is possible to get, and Collins simply did not play well enough to apply any psychological pressure to Swiatek. 'I was just in the zone. I knew how I wanted to play and I knew I needed to be brave,' said the five-time grand slam champion, who was particularly effective on serve. 'You can't let Danielle play her winners. I'm really happy with the performance, it was a good match. It's much more fun this year. I had some practices where the ball was listening to me, which was pretty new on grass.' This is only the third time Swiatek has reached the fourth round at Wimbledon, with her best run so far a quarter-final appearance two years ago. She faces a dangerous opponent next in 23rd seed Clara Tauson, who defeated former champion Elena Rybakina, but, with so many big names already out of the tournament, Swiatek appears to have a good chance of going all the way.

Cameron Norrie and Kartal flying the home flag at Wimbledon
On court, there have been two Camerons too – lethal one day and lacklustre the next. And there's another L-word that forms a crucial part of his game: loyalty, Norrie's rise to the world's top ten masterminded by close friend Facundo Lugones. However, form and fitness saw unseeded Norrie arrive here outside the world's top 50, prompting suggestions he should make a change. Top players are not known for reflecting for long, with the job security of a tennis coach measured in months, not years. Norrie and Lugones – who nicknames the British No. 3 'chicken' – were friends and team-mates at Texas Christian University and have worked together since 2017, when he made his Grand Slam debut at the All England Club. The son of a Welsh mother and Scottish father, born in South Africa, raised in New Zealand, studied in the United States, representing Great Britain and coached by an Argentine, Norrie is certainly the Boutros Boutros-Ghali of tennis. 'I didn't know what to expect when we started working together but the important thing was, we had trust,' said Norrie. 'It's a really unique relationship. He's passionate about tennis like me, and I never feel like we are sick of each other. 'He knows what it takes to be a top player and we've got confidence in each other. I think he does a good job of being a friend and coach. 'I trust in all my team and it's not just about doing that when things are going well.' Norrie has certainly ridden the rollercoaster since the high of his semi-final appearance here three years ago but that's nothing compared to fourth round opponent Nicolás Jarry, with either defending champion Carlos Alcaraz or Andrey Rublev waiting for the winner. Jarry hit the world's top 16 in 2022 but soon after was diagnosed with vestibular neuritis, a condition which affects his vision and balance, pretty essential for a deep run in Grand Slam tennis. You'd have got long odds on Norrie and Sonay Kartal being the last British players in their respective singles draws on middle Sunday. Kartal is charting new territory in a Grand Slam last 16 with Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova her opponent, just one place separating them in the rankings at number 51 and 50 respectively. But the British number three has been playing without fear this week, happy to fly under the radar, with the focus on Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper. Loving your support at @Wimbledon 🍓 Sonay Kartal has a message for you! — LTA (@the_LTA) July 4, 2025 Karaoke-loving Kartal is happily writing her own tune at the All England Club and the winner of this encounter will face either Linda Noskova or Amanda Anisimova in the quarter-finals. Since the age of six, Kartal has been coached by Julie Hobbs, who as Julie Pullin reached the second round here a quarter of a century ago. She spotted something immediately in the ambidextrous 23-year old but unlike Raducanu, who benefited from LTA support from a young age, Kartal had to earn her funding, though insists fighting for recognition improved her game. 'When I was growing up, I did quite a lot of tournaments on my own just because I couldn't afford to pay a coach week in and week out," she said. 'It helped me develop as a teenager, grow up super-fast, made me much more mature, hold myself accountable to a lot of things. 'The LTA have helped me massively since and are a great supporter, but it was when I started to come on the scene and was putting together a few good wins consistently.'
