Iga Swiatek, qualified for the final of the WTA 1000 in Madrid after her victory against Madison Keys (6-1, 6-3) on Thursday: “Overall, I’m happy with everything: because I had a pretty clean performance and I played very solid. I have lots of confidence. Every tournament I play, I get pretty good results, so yes, I’m very confident and happy that I can regularly play semi-finals, finals, and sometimes win the title. And I’m happy that the hard work is paying off.
I wouldn’t say it was easy this week, because at the beginning I didn’t have much time to adapt to the conditions. I had to do it quite a bit during the tournament. But overall my matches were pretty good. I played efficiently, so I’m happy to be fresh even before the final. (About the final against Elena Rybakina or Aryna Sabalenka.) I’m happy to be able to play a final against a top player. It’s sure to be a challenge, whatever it may be, and a difficult match. I will be ready. I will focus on myself. And we will see. »
