Swiatek's number one ranking is safe through Indian Wells and Miami, but she'll be up against a quality field in the California desert, where she's seeking to become just the second woman to defend the title after Martina Navratilova in 1990-91. 'So I'm trying not to read a lot of these things and I don't want it to influence me because I'm happy with the work I've made and with how I played in, Doha and Dubai.' 'Last year, before all this huge streak, before winning all these tournaments, I would be so happy with the result, but because of these comments right now I felt like 'Oh, that's not enough,'' she said.

Swiatek herself was pleased with her play in Doha and Dubai - noting that reaching both finals was, in fact, a strong result even if her loss to Krejcikova, a former French Open champion now 30th in the world - drew scrutiny. While she and her coach assess each defeat and work to make adjustments, she said she tries to tune out criticism from outside. 'I still have to kind of remember that I'm going to have tight matches and to fight for every ball,' she said. The start of Indian Wells is just days away. She admitted that a stream of easy match wins - she hasn't played a three-setter this year -might have let a little complacency creep in.
