Iga ¦wi ± tek will not play the final WTA Finals in Fort Worth. In the semifinals, the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka proved to be better than her. After meeting with the Polish media, coach Tomasz Wiktorowski met.
– This evening game it didn’t go well from the start. It is because of Iga’s few mistakes. There was a bit of a risk. Furthermore, he did not use information on the direction of his opponent’s serve. This led to Sabalenka’s lead early in the match. Then it was difficult to come back, with a good looking rival, and then with Iga playing a little worse – coach Tomasz Wiktorowski rated Iga Świątek’s performance.
Iga Świątek was late
In an interview with the Polish media, the Polish coach admitted that she arrived with a couple of balls late today. “This is because he reacted a little worse on the pitch today, and not because his rival was playing very fast,” he explained.
The coach of the leader of the world rankings was a little sad, but then calm. He is aware that failures are part of sport, even when someone is dominant in their discipline like Iga Świątek. – This is not Iga’s first defeat this season. He also misses a successful season like this one. You can miss a few games and still consider the season a great success. Here’s how we look at this season. I hope that these few mistakes made today will not be repeated, at least with this rival – added Wiktorowski.
They are constantly trying to improve
Iga Świątek has only lost nine games this season. He has won the remaining 67 games. These are incredible statistics that women’s tennis hasn’t seen since Serenissima Williams.
– I think the intensity of the season was similar to that of Agnieszka Radwańska. When it comes to efficiency and results, there is definitely a difference. Agnieszka had nine thousand in the lead. points, Iga has over 11 thousand. Now it is time for holidays, but there is not much time to compete in the Championships – said the coach, who also drove Agnieszka Radwańska in the past.
How does Iga Świątek’s staff approach this last match of the season? A successful season, even if it is always a shame to end the year at a loss. – IN tennis at the highest level, you must always keep a certain distance from the results, a little modesty. Keep realizing that there is a lot of room for improvement, use the time to improve. When you stand still, it moves backwards, because others go forward – concluded Wiktorowski.
