Iga Świątek said in front of the Canal+ Sport cameras after defeating Ashlyn Krueger that her solid and intense play in the first set and effective defense were key to her victory. As she assessed, this put pressure on her opponent. In the second set, Ashlyn Krueger raised her level, so Świątek had to adjust; she was pleased that she played well in the most important moments. The Polish player conveyed that she is focusing on recovery and preparations for the upcoming matches at the end of the season, rather than on qualifying for the WTA Finals, which — as she pointed out — did not solely depend on her yet. Regarding the playing conditions, Świątek said that she had been playing her recent matches in different circumstances and did not yet know the court well enough to precisely predict how she would have to adapt. She assessed that during the match with Krueger, the balls were heavier, and the humidity was higher than during the morning session, but she preferred those conditions. She added that from the beginning she was ready to adapt to a different ball bounce and the opponent's playing style. #zkortu #IgaŚwiątek #WTA #tenis (translated)
