It wasn't an easy match. The opponent was not a simple opponent and the game was very fiery and businesslike. However, Iga Świątek did not give up and won Anett Kontaveit 7:6 (7-4), 6:0 in Roland Garros! Effectively and without losing a set! We will follow our compatriot's next steps with great interest. What awaits her next?
Iga Świątek defeated the Estonian in an emotional match ...
After the Roman tournament, Iga shows that he is still in great shape and is not slowing down. Great respect! Winning against today's opponent did not come easily to her. He still triumphs in great style during the "Paris" games:
“In the opening round, she defeated Slovenian Kaja Juvan, winning 6-0, 7-5. Also in doubles - with American Bethanie Mattek-Sands - she advanced very confidently. In the second round she easily defeated the Swedish Rebecca Peterson, and in the third round Iga was paired with Estonian Anett Kontaveit. One of the least comfortable rivals for the Pole, who narrowly lost to Anett Kontaveit twice in Cincinnati and the Australian Open. It seemed that the Polish woman was facing a real test of her abilities in Paris. The beginning of the match showed that this was indeed the case.” (source: https://sport.onet.pl/).
Above all, fight to the end and keep a cool head.
In the first half of Saturday's match, Iga Świątek had to react and cope with the somewhat aggressive play of the Estonian player. Anett was like a real storm! And she played at full blast. In the second half, however, everything changed. The Estonian woman lost her strength. As a result, she made mistakes. This significantly affected her level of play and concentration during the game. Iga, seeing some shortcomings and shortcomings of her rival, took advantage of them, which resulted in a great win.
In a word of summary. The Polish tennis player continues the streak of success ...
To sum up. Our compatriot is on the podium in world tennis. “For Świątek, it was the 10th match in a row without losing a set in the history of participation in the Roland Garros tournament. In the fourth round of the Paris tournament, Iga Świątek will face Marta Kostjuk, who defeated Garbine Muguruza at the opening of the tournament. The match will take place on Monday.” (source: Sport Onet.pl). We keep our fingers crossed for further success!
