Pole taken aback by negativity after losing in the final in Dubai.

Indian Wells — Iga Swiatek says she is growing accustomed to the high expectations and harsh criticism that come with being the world’s top player and is feeling “good vibes” ahead of her title defence at Indian Wells.

“I feel like there is a little bit of a target on my back, which I didn’t feel last year.
