Iga Swiatek: “It gives me confidence that even when my game is not 100% good, I can still win matches” Iga Swiatek talked to the press following her 6-4, 6-1 win against Viktoria Azarenka in Rome “For sure I didn't start well, and everybody could see that. I'm really happy with the way I reacted and how I improved in the first set. Also how different second set looked to the first one because I could really reset and really change the way I played. That's the most positive thing for me. Being down love-3 I didn't want to take that much risk because I didn't feel like I was controlling the ball well. I needed to kind of play little bit more to the middle and maybe just wait for her, how she's going to react to some longer rallies. Also the first few games were pretty tight. I had some chances to just win my service games. In important moments I didn't play well. I wanted to, yeah, just play better in the important points. I feel like it's possible to lose any match, especially when I didn't start that well. So basically, I mean, what can I say? For sure my first serve wasn't working properly. All the unforced errors weren't helping. But I'm happy that I could kind of win ugly in the first set, then improve in the second. It gives me confidence that even when my game is not hundred percent good, I can still win matches. So it works both ways. What do I expect from the match against Bianca Andreescu? Honestly, I mean, I'm not expecting anything. It's pretty hard to expect something, especially after such a tricky match as today's one. From my side, I just hope I'm going to start better, maybe start more aggressively and just putting pressure on her, but also playing a little bit more solid and less unforced errors. Really, I just want to, I don't know, get a better feeling on clay court. I'm not really focusing on the scores or something. I know Bianca can play a really solid game. I'm pretty happy that she's back because she has such a nice game. It's, like, more variety for women's tennis. For sure it's going to be interesting. I already played against her in juniors on clay, and it was super tight, super tight match. I know it's going to be hard. I mean, we don't get easy matches in quarterfinals. I'm just going to be focusing on myself”. Website BTU - Ukrainian Tennis - joins the fundraising to help internally displaced persons in Dnipropetrovsk Region
