Iga Swiatek may not love the grass but relishes a battle whatever the surface and showed all that fight and bullish determination as she recovered to beat American Caty McNally 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 and reach the Wimbledon third round on Thursday.

Iga Swiatek admits that "everyone is watching me" after she was spotted stuffing her bag with Wimbledon towels. The Polish tennis star playfully took several towels from the court following her first-round victory over Polina Kudermetova on Tuesday.

Iga Swiatek still has a long way to go to master the art of grasscourt tennis but on Tuesday the Pole took the first step towards what she hopes will be a triumphant run at Wimbledon as she beat Polina Kudermetova 7-5 6-1 in the first round.
