World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka shared her thoughts on the current level of play of Poland`s Iga Swiatek. Sabalenka recently defeated Swiatek in the French Open semi-finals with a score of 7/6(1), 4/6, 6/0.
During the post-match press conference, Sabalenka was asked for her assessment of Swiatek`s game, noting that their last meeting was approximately 10 months prior.
Sabalenka responded, “We have both improved significantly since then. I believe we played a very high-level match today.”
She continued, “Iga played very well. In the first part of the match, both of us struggled somewhat with our serve.”
“I think she is playing excellent tennis. Perhaps she`s become a little less confident, which might explain why she sometimes misses shots she normally wouldn`t. However, overall, I consider our match to have been at a very high standard,” Sabalenka concluded.
