After advancing to the third round of the 2023 Australian Open, Iga Swiatek revealed that she had changed her playlist before the match. The Pole was listening to the same music for two years and it was difficult for her to bring a change but she did it.

"It's still rock," she said during the press conference. "Just different songs. Red Hot Chili Peppers. Well, it's a new one," she adds after a pause. "That's why I don't remember. I think Black Sabbath is there, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin but different songs than before, and Lenny Kravitz. Different but still the same kind of stuff."
