Iga Świątek in the final! When is its beginning?
In the history of women’s tennis in the Grand Slam finals, Polish women have played four times. Jadwiga Jędrzejowska lost three times, and once Agnieszka Radwanska. The tennis player from Krakow played in the Wimbledon final in 2012, when she lost the decisive match with Serena Williams 1: 6, 7: 5, 2: 6.
A rival ¦wi±tek will be the winner of the second semi-final, in which Sofia Kenin and Petra Kvitova will play. This match will take place on Thursday, several minutes after the end of the Świątek-Podoroska meeting.
The final match will be played on Saturday at central court. The match will start at 15:00. Broadcast on Eurosport 1, broadcast live on Sport.pl.
World experts are delighted with Iga Świątek!
George Bellshaw: It’s great. To lose only 20 games on the way to the first Grand Slam semi-final in your life is really impressive. Competing with it is very demanding. On the one hand, he has the brute strength that he shows in trades. On the other hand, she can be delicate on the court and play technically. A great combination.
– I’m not surprised that he is able to play at such a high level. I am only surprised by how consistent it is in this game. The win over Simona Halep was terrifyingly good, but it’s always very easy to cut back after a match like this, which just didn’t happen to her. And he is also great in doubles!
– I have always said that Iga is able to be in the top five in the world. How far she goes is entirely up to her. A great two weeks in Paris is one thing, but keeping it in shape all year round to become number one in the world is another. Lots of talented girls are coming, so there will be a lot of competition, but Iga has everything to get to the top.
