“IGA failed to cope with Mirra, losing to her in two sets on the thousands in the United States”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
“She definitely played better and perhaps in the key moments she was more bold. Of course, I remember a few blows that could be done better, but in general I believe that the match was very high. The wind played a big role – sometimes it was difficult to get out of difficult situations when it was strongly beat in the wind, and I played against it.
I was taught 100% during many long draws, but the ball just didn’t fly the way I wanted. And when the wind was on my part, I did not always have to use it as an advantage – maybe I had to play a little more aggressive to balance the situation. But as a result, the match was more in its favor, so it won. She played better than my previous rivals. ”
How do I evaluate the results? It’s hard to say. Of course, I am satisfied with the previous matches. I cannot say that I played bad today – I was more likely to have boldness in key moments. Mirra played very freely, without pressure. It can be seen that she has no great expectations and sometimes she just plays. And I do not even remember when the last time I could just relax, freely beat the ball and risk. When I try to do it now, especially at important moments, it’s more like a desperate step than a thoughtful risk.
It is difficult to explain to a person who does not play tennis – a combination of instinct, intuition, almost something metaphysical. But I will continue to work on this so that in such intense matches be more stable and finding ways to break the game in my favor. ”
Swontek failed to protect last year’s trophy. In the finals, Andreev will play against Arina Sobolenko.
