The celebration suddenly stopped and the audience roared with laughter. This interview will be a hit Tennis

Iga Świątek advanced to the quarterfinals of the Australian Open for the second time in her career. Iga defeated German Eva Lys (WTA 128) 6:0, 6:1, and the match lasted 60 minutes. Apart from the first game, in which Lys had two break points, Świątek was not at risk. The fans in the stands at Rod Laver Arena cheered every point the German scored.

After the match, former Australian Tennis player Alicia Molik, who has Polish roots, talked to the Pole. The interview started with her saying “a very good match.” – Nice Polish – Świątek praised her. “It was my first match in the evening session, so I was glad I could play at Rod Laver Arena at such a time and in such a great atmosphere,” she said. Then suddenly Świątek forgot how old she was. – Honestly, I'm still… 23 years old, so I have a lot of room for development – said the Pole, and the audience burst into laughter. – I don't feel like this is my peak. This match gave me a lot of confidence, I feel like I played well, she continued.

Later, Świątek said, among other things: about the impact of the new coach on her play during the tournament. – So far, I haven't always felt comfortable with my game at the Australian Open, but this year it's better. I enjoy being on and off the court. I don't know what will happen in the future, maybe I will play better. Coach Wim had an impact on how I feel on the court now. The whole team did a great job and have been supporting me for many years. I feel very comfortable, the Pole explained.

Finally, Świątek thanked the Polish fans for their support during the match. – Thank you for coming, for all the Polish flags. It really warms my heart, Świątek announced. – Good night – this is how Alicia Molik ended the interview. – Not yet, only in a few hours, but good night – replied Świątek.

Then Świątek gave a short interview on Eurosport. The Pole referred to the fact that so far she has spent an average of 68 minutes in a match. – It's definitely an unusual tournament in this respect, but I feel fresh. I can enter the quarterfinals with full energy. I hope that I will be ready for situations that may be more stressful, she explained.

– What does the preparation look like for a day and evening session? The preparation is definitely different, waiting for the match takes some getting used to. I have my routines. I can play during the day and in the evening. It will be colder in the quarterfinals, but the change in conditions does not matter. It will probably be less dynamic, but we'll see, Świątek concluded.

Świątek's opponent in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open will be American Emma Navarro (8th WTA).
