Iga Swiatek enjoys Warsaw. A sure victory over a countryman

- First of all, I’m glad that so many people came and so many people are interested in tennis, because I got the impression that everything has changed in Poland over the past few years. My second, secondary goal is to promote tennis at this tournament, so I’m glad that I have the opportunity to play here and that the fans are involved in the first place, ”she said at a press conference after the meeting.

After the match, she also referred to the already mentioned amazing run since the start of the season. As she admitted, it became a little easier, but at the same time she had to do other things.

- I would say that if there is no streak, maybe it’s a little easier, but here are other destructors and other things that I had to work with when playing at home. In the past, it didn’t quite work out, because the tournament in Radom (April match of the Polish team in the Billie Jean Cup - ed. note) was my first successful tournament in Poland, - said the winner of this year’s French Open.

“These holes threatened to get serious injuries”

After the game, both players complained about the site prepared for the tournament. French had a slightly stronger opinion on the surface, but noted that this did not affect the final outcome of the match.

- This is not a court of dreams. Each flour is slightly different, in which case it can be said that there was a threshing floor behind the finish line. The holes made didn’t exactly need to be sealed, but they threatened with serious injury, - said the player from Łódź.

- No need to hide. This is not a Roland Garros court. There is simply a lot of agony behind the finish line, and sometimes it slips underfoot when someone wants to brake hard or take off. I know that I can handle my preparation and movement in any situation, and fortunately I was like that, - Swiatek said in turn.
