IGA SWIATEK has revealed that she likes to eat her strawberries and cream with PASTA.
Wimbledon is renowned for its famous sweet treat – with around 200,000 portions sold each fortnight.
But now, All England Club punters are being introduced to pasta and strawberries.
Earlier this week, Swiatek posted a picture of her interesting dish, captioning it: “come in guyssss, this is (Poland flag) speciality.”
Following her dominant 6-2 6-3 win over Danielle Collins, Polish star Swiatek was asked more about strawberries and pasta.
Grinning, the five-time Grand Slam champion said: “Why is it such a big thing? Everybody should eat that.”
The 24-year-old then added: “I think in summer, kids are eating it a lot. I don’t know. It’s just a perfect mix of tastes, so…
“It is a Polish thing, right? We have great strawberries in Poland, as well.”
Quizzed on whether Poland has better strawberries than England, Swiatek added: “I think Poland. Because we have better climate for strawberries, right?
“Now Wimbledon is probably going to ban me from answering these questions.
“No, the strawberries are great here, as well. They are different. But they are great, as well.”
On the subject, Swiatek concluded: “Pasta fits everything. But strawberries are the best one, I would say.”
The former world No1 had been on a collision course with ex-Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
But the Kazakh star threw in a shocking performance to lose to Clara Tauson yesterday.
On the threat that the Dane poses, Swiatek added: “Well, for sure it’s going to be challenging.
“When she plays well, she can hit great serves, amazing winners. She has great touch. She’s really talented. So for sure there’s a reason she’s in the fourth round.
“I haven’t watched her matches because I’m not watching a lot.
“For sure I’m going to prepare tomorrow and I’ll be ready. It’s going to be a challenge, for sure.”
