Swiatek commented on the loss of the status of the world’s first racket

Polish tennis player Iga Sviontek He commented that he would lose his status as the world’s first racket due to the defeat of Alena Ostapenko (6:3, 3:6, 1:6) in the 4th round match of the US Open.

– I’m surprised how much my level has dropped. I don’t know what happened to my game. I suddenly lost control. I need to look into this topic because I don’t know why I’m starting to make so many mistakes.

– The state of the world’s first racket seems to be putting pressure on you. Is there a sense of relief?

– The truth is, I wouldn’t call it “relaxation.” There are many things I know I should have done differently. Maybe I’m not mature enough for that yet.

I try not to think about the first line. Sometimes when you force yourself not to think about something, the result is the opposite. I am very happy to have smart people around me who tell me how to do this job and guide me. But actually it all depends on me.

Of course, next time I find myself in the same situation, I will act differently because there was some stress today and it shouldn’t have been like this. So tennis is a stressful sport in general, but I understood a little more. I’ll act differently next time, so I think it’s a positive thing.
