Iga Swiatek joked that Wimbledon might “ban” her after she revealed her bizarre twist to strawberries and cream in the wake of her two-set victory over Danielle Collins.
And after the match, the World No. 4 said she would celebrate by eating one of her favourite dishes – a mix of strawberries, yogurt and pasta.
“I have my favourite actually,” she said in her on-court interview. “I ate it as a kid. It is pasta with strawberries.
“You should try it guys. Pasta with strawberries and a little bit of yogurt. It is just great.”

“Why is it such a big thing?” Swiatek laughed, after being asked to explain the dish in her press-conference.
“Everybody should eat it. It’s just a perfect mix of tastes. We have great strawberries in Poland, as well.”
When questioned on who has the better strawberries between Poland and the UK, Swiatek responded: “Honestly, I think Poland.
“Because we have a 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.”
She continued: “My dad adds cream (to the pasta). In Poland, it’s like 80% fat cream. 18, not 80. He adds that and some sugar.
“I try to eat (pasta) with yogurt to at least pretend that it’s a good meal. I mean, pasta fits everything. But strawberries are the best one, I would say.”
