Iga Swiatek
I have no words. It reminds me of my victory over Serena eight years ago on this same court. This is my lucky court. I have to say I’m a huge fan of Iga. She is such a talented, amazing tennis player and the face of women’s tennis. I’m honored to have beaten her. I live and train for matches like this, it motivates me. And I believe I can win. She’s won 37 matches in a row, but if there’s one place she can beat her, it’s on grass, where she’s a little bit less comfortable than on other…
“I didn’t know he was in the stands and I’m very happy about that, otherwise I would have stressed. I’m really glad he’s here. I don’t know if he’s a big tennis fan, but it’s just wow. For so many years, he’s been the best athlete in our country, so I still can’t believe he came to see me. I hope he enjoyed it (smiles). So, yeah, I’m just stunned.”- said Swiatek.

“It’s hard to say because I don’t set goals in the spirit of reaching the semifinals or the finals. Honestly, I’ll just go from match to match. I’m aware that my winning streak might end soon, and I don’t want to yearn when that happens. So I’ll just go from match to match, just like I did in previous tournaments. I’ve already won a lot of points and I’m very happy with the last few tournaments. I already consider this season a success.”- said Iga Swiatek.

Osaka will face American Amanda Anisimova, whom she lost in the last Australian Open, in the first round. “Wim Fissette said to me, ‘You’re playing with Anisimova.’ And I said, “You’re kidding, right?” I’m not saying I don’t want to play with her. I’m the kind of person that a previous defeat only motivates me more. And that match taught me a lot. In fact, a few days ago I had a dream that I fell to Iga Swiatek in the first round. Now that was scary. I wondered which option would be the worst and I immediately remembered her.…
“The way Iga has been playing in recent months, it is clear that she is now the boss. We see the progress of a new generation: Swiatek, Osaka if she is stable at a high level, and Jabeur, who also began to play completely differently. I hope the audience of “Roland Garros” will be able to appreciate it. Women’s tennis has been criticized for years for its formulaic style of play. I believe that a new era is beginning, ”Mauresmo quotes Eurosport. The 20-year-old Iga is on a 28-win streak. The last time the winner of Roland Garros 2020 lost…
