NIt is never easy to play with your best friend on the circuit and even more so when the rival is the first to congratulate you on your birthday while you are preparing the game against her.
That’s what i experienced this monday Every Swiayek, at the start of the defense of the Roland Garros crown. On the other side of the net was Kaja Juvan on the day she turns 20.
Swiatek forgot about the connection with his opponent in a first set to frame and that meant his third rosco in a row on the circuit. It should be remembered that he came to defeat Karolina Pliskova for a double 6-0 in the final in Rome, a result that earned him to release his status of ‘top10’ world.
It was harder for him to abstract himself from the moment that followed. He needed to get to the twelfth game of the second heat to close a favorable score of 6-0 and 7-5.
The Polish champion hugged twice on the net with Juvan. The Slovenian woman even waited for the organization to deliver a bouquet of flowers to her executioner to celebrate the anniversary. The stands of the Philippe Chatrier, the headquarters of the Bois de Boulogne, sang him a happy birthday.
