Podoroska: “My dream is to be number one in the world but you have to set medium-term goals.”
Argentine tennis player Nadia Podoroska, current 48th in the world, acknowledged today that she arrived “without expectations at Roland Garros”, where she reached the semifinals and was eliminated at the hands of the Polish Iga Swiatek (17th).
“I had been playing very well, happy with my tennis and my experience in the race was always limited because sometimes they are not what one expects. I arrived at Roland Garros without expectations,” said the Rosario in a note with La Red.
“My opponent had two incredible weeks. I knew her only by name, she played very well and we had never faced each other,” he reflected.
Likewise, Podoroska, based in Alicante, Spain, and born in Rosario, said that she had to borrow 100,000 dollars to go abroad and “bet” on the tennis career.
“In this tournament I played for the first time on a field as big as the central one at Roland Garros. The truth is that doing it there is different, you have more depth to go backwards and obviously the stadium with many people can modify and be more difficult”, he claimed.
“At this point in my career I don’t think about the money that is at stake in each game but in other passages it happened to me not to know if I could continue on the circuit in the event of being eliminated. Fortunately, after Roland Garros I will be calmer “he admitted.
Podoroska, who started 255 in the year, reached the French tournament in position 131 and has already resumed training in the Spanish city with “greater peace” for being among the top 50 in the ranking and waiting for what “to come”.
Finally, the Rosario assured: “My dream is to be number one in the world but you have to set medium-term goals. I will give my best and I don’t know how far I will go.”
