The Polka gave no chance to the American, who managed to win only in the penultimate game of the match. The world number one WTA player appeared at a press conference where she expressed her pride in her performance, but also expressed surprise at what she heard and read after her loss at the WTA 1000 in Dubai a few weeks ago.

The best tennis player in the world admitted that it was a worthy match for her performance, and she is even more glad that she managed to adapt to the wind. She added that when she trained for the meeting with Claire Liu, it was not so windy, and tactically and tennis everything fell into place. She also mentioned a drop in concentration at the end of the meeting.
- When there is such a result, it is most difficult to concentrate, so there may be some downtime, moments when the energy level drops a little. What happened at the end of the second set. However, I understood that I had to get to a higher intensity as quickly as possible in order to finish the match. On the other hand, many of my meetings in recent weeks looked similar, so I knew what I had to do, the polka said.
Fans surprised Iga Swiatek with their reaction
A few weeks ago, Iga Sviontek lost to Barbora Krejcikova in the final of the WTA 1000 tournament in Dubai. During her speech, she mentioned that after her premiere Grand Slam victory, she had to isolate herself and learn a lot, most notably to distance herself from social media. Although, as she claims, she copes well with success, there are things that are painful for her. Therefore, she was very surprised by the reaction of people after losing the tournament in the United Arab Emirates.
“After Doha and Dubai, where I won the first tournament, I was in the final of the second, and people seemed to be disappointed that I lost. It’s absolutely incredible, because last year, if I had such a result at this time, it would be considered an amazing achievement. Sometimes these comments affect me more than they should, although I don’t like to lose either, said Iga Swiatek.
