Swiatek’s loss to Ostapenko came as a surprise to everyone. The Pole, who had started her US Open rather well, finally lost in the round of 16. Coco Gauff was also surprised, especially since in each of her interviews she was already told about her match against Swiatek, a situation she denounced at a press conference:
“Yes I was shocked by Swiatek’s defeat. I saw the score I saw that she had won the first set, so I thought she was going to win. Then, around midnight when I went to sleep, I saw that Ostapenko had won. I was shocked.
In all my interviews I was told that I was going to play against Iga, so I got it into my head that it was going to be the case. That’s why, you have to be careful what journalists say sometimes, no offense to you guys, but they were already playing the game. »
