Swiatek back in Pole position

After a difficult year, that included a title drought and a doping ban, Polish ace rediscovers her winning touch

For weeks, while back home in Warsaw last year, Iga Swiatek hung out with friends and made new ones, but didn't dare tell them about the doping case that was hanging over her.

"Obviously, in the back of my mind," she said Saturday evening at the All England Club, "I had this thing."

There was more going on, too, and she only opened up to her family and her team.
