Iga Swiatek, qualified for the quarter-finals of Wimbledon after her victory against Belinda Bencic (6-7, 7-6, 6-3): “I’m just happy to have won because, during the second set, I didn’t I wasn’t sure I would get out of it. I’m glad I continued to believe in it. I played without looking back. It was not an easy match, there was a lot of rhythm. Physically, I felt good until the end.
Match points saved? There, I don’t really remember… What I do know is that in that moment, I have nothing to lose. It is the player who must conclude who has a little more pressure. I know what it is to have match points and to have to conclude. I try to play my game, whatever the situation. That’s what I did. This game will give me more confidence. It was very tight, but I managed to play my game despite everything. I’m going in the right direction.
With Elina Svitolina (her opponent in the quarter-finals on Tuesday), we respect each other, we appreciate each other. It’s good to have this kind of players on the circuit, nice, with values. I’m glad she’s back after becoming a mom, it must be extremely difficult. It will be an interesting match. »
