Iga Swiatek overcame a tough battle at Wimbledon 2023 with a comeback included and saving two MPs against a Belinda Bencic who brought out her best version in the tiebreak of the first set. The number one in the world reviews her feelings after the victory at a press conference.
“I’m just happy to win it, because honestly in the second set I wasn’t sure it would end that way. Glad I continued to believe in myself. It has not been an easy match. The pace has been quite high. I am also happy that physically I have felt good until the end”, explains Iga at a press conference.
“Surely this match gives me a lot of confidence. I am happy that it was so close and that I was able to play my game. You have to take all the positive things from matches like this.”
Saving two match points against
“Right now I don’t even remember what it was like. From what I know, I usually know that I have nothing to lose. The other player is the one who is supposed to win that point and has a little more pressure. I know what it’s like to have match points and try to close it out, but try not to be too impatient. I wanted to play my tennis, no matter the situation.”
The best sensations in the first set were not enough
“I usually take my chances. Today I had six break points, I think, and I felt more solid, even so, I lost the set. I didn’t want to focus on that in the second and third. It stuck in my head a bit. I felt like I should have been the one to take that first set, but it doesn’t work like that. There was no point in thinking about it. I wanted to move on and not regret it.
On the other hand, Belinda didn’t start her service games in the best way, but then she played a little better. It would have been easier if she had taken that opportunity, but I lost that set. He didn’t want to think about it afterwards. I’m happy it worked out.”
Duel with Elina Svitolina
“We both respect each other. It’s all quite positive. It’s good to have these types of players who are nice and have good values. I’m happy that she’s back after being a mother. I don’t know how hard it is, but I’m sure a lot. I’m glad he’s with a solid game. It’s going to be interesting. She is a patient player, who is experienced enough to have those skills in defense and in attack.”
