What was the most difficult Today?
Iga Swiatek : Frankly, there is nothing to remember because everything was almost the same from start to finish. I didn’t really manage to raise my level. Coco has played well, but I think it’s my fault if I haven’t moved really well. Today I didn’t even have a plan B because nothing worked.
Knowing that you have not played at your best level, but that you still managed to reach the semi-finals, is there a positive aspect to draw from it?
Tennis was in a sawfall for most of the tournament. I did not play well, even the matches I won. Today, for sure, everything has collapsed in terms of tennis. I feel that I was not in the right place with my feet before the blows. I would have liked to move better.
You say that you have not moved well, how does it manifest? Has something changed in terms of trust?
-We feel heavy. We force everything instead of trusting intuition. I know how I can move and generally I don’t need to think about it a lot. But in recent weeks, it has not been so easy. I am not a player different from what I was in recent years when it comes to attitude or emotions.
Do you want to take a break of a few days or go directly to Rome and start working?
Of course I want to have a few days of rest, especially because I did not have one after Stuttgart (WTA 500). I will surely relax, but frankly, it is the coaches who will make the program, so we will see.
