On Saturday, July 5, Collins and Swiatek clashed for a place in the fourth round of the Grass Major. The Pole dominated the American and cruised to a 6-2, 6-3 victory. After losing the first set, which was wrapped up within 35 minutes, Collins took a seven-minute toilet break before she eventually made her way back onto Centre Court. This irked several fans on X.

"Collins 7 minute toilet break after a 35 minute set but no one will talk about it because her name isn't Iga Swiatek," a fan wrote.

After comfortably dispatching Danielle Collins, Iga Swiatek attended a press conference, where she reflected on her rock-solid performance against the American. Grass is widely regarded as the Pole's weakest surface, but during the presser, the former No. 1 and five-time Major champion spoke up about getting used to the playing surface and conditions at SW19.

"I am very pleased with my level of play, I believe I am reaching the consistency level that I have been seeking for a while, and I feel more comfortable on grass than in previous years. Having more time available to train and compete on this surface is crucial, but also being able to focus solely on point-by-point play. I try to maintain no expectations and adapt to all situations that arise during the matches," Swiatek said.

Swiatek's next challenge at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships is a fourth-round battle against Clara Tauson.
