Iga Swiatek: “I had some ups and downs, I felt like I could play well in important moments and break back anytime” Iga Swiatek talked to the media following her 7-6, 6-0 win against Bianca Andreescu in Rome “On the court I felt pretty confident honestly. I feel like every match I'm playing better and better. Even though the first set was pretty tight, I had some ups and downs, I felt like I could play well in important moments and break back anytime. I'm pretty happy that also the second set was more solid because it shows that I'm just, I don't know, learning my lessons throughout the whole match, I'm playing better and better. Today I wasn't really expecting anything because I didn't actually know how Bianca's playing after the break. I watched many of her matches before she did that break. Right now I didn't know if her tennis is the same or it changed a little bit. But I knew that physically I can kind of play longer rallies and also play longer matches I think. So basically I was ready for that. Also I knew that she's going to change rhythm. She did that, which was pretty tricky. Just knowing that, yeah, I was just ready for it. Tactically I knew it about it, so I'm pretty happy that we prepared well. What is the biggest challenge for me on playing Aryna Sabalenka on clay versus hard court? Well, again, it's hard to say because the Stuttgart clay was so much different. We could actually play with the same kind of tactics like on hard court. Here I feel like it's the slowest surface on tour. For sure I need to adjust. Honestly, we only have like three or four tournaments on clay, and only two of them are like on 'normal clay', because in Madrid there's altitude, which is pretty crazy. When I think about my opponents, I don't really have a vision of how they play on clay because I didn't watch their matches. That's the only, like, problem that I have towards that comparing to hard court. I know that my coach is going to do a great job tactically. I can't tell you right now what's the difference. I guess we'll see tomorrow”. Website BTU - Ukrainian Tennis - joins the fundraising to help internally displaced persons in Dnipropetrovsk Region
