Lesia Tsurenko: “I really appreciate Iga’s support, Poland is doing so much for Ukraine. They are all amazing”. Ukrainian tennis player Lesia Tsurenko talked to the media following her loss to Iga Swiatek in the first round at Roland Garros, 2-6, 0-6. “Iga is a very tough opponent for the first round, - Lesia said. - Actually, she's playing just incredible now, and almost all of the shots are like very close to the lines, which makes fact to play against her very tough or to create something is very tough. But as we see, she's winning all of the matches she's playing. And I felt wow, because the level is very high and she's serving like really good, almost speed like some men serving. So, yeah, the level is really high. I did not feel great, with this draw, I'll be honest, because I had to play against the World No. 1 for the third time in a row in Grand Slam first-round. And especially getting Ash Barty when she's not losing a match and playing unbelievable, and the same story with Iga. But I felt like I like to play on the big courts, I really want to come back to good level of tennis and play some more matches. Unfortunately, the draw is not the best to do it, but at least I qualify and I won some matches. I want to continue playing and winning. Can I compare the challenge of facing Ash versus Iga? Well, I think they play quite similar, just Ash using more slice on the backhand, but the speed is quite the same, the speed of the serve and the placement of the serve is the same. Very solid baseline. Yeah, quite similar. I think there is a reason why they are No. 1. Did I notice that Iga had a [blue and yellow] pin? Yes, she always does. She’s wearing it. I really appreciate the support that Iga is showing and I know that Poland in general is doing so much for Ukraine and that, I mean, they are amazing in general, the people, the president of Poland, the politics, everyone, just amazing support for Ukrainian people for Ukrainian refugees and what I see on the TV, the friendship between Ukraine and Poland is, it's amazing”.
