“Anna Bondar spoke after victory over Elina in the 1/64 Finals of Slemem in the United States”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
“It was very important that I was able to win that game [четвертий гейм першого сету, в якому Бондар відіграла п’ять брейк-пойнтів]. In previous meetings, it was always that she quickly broke off in the first party and began to play more confidently. Therefore, it was fundamentally not to keep up in the bill and immediately make a break. It was a key point and allowed me to take the initiative so that Seth would not unfold as in past matches.
I acted bolder than in our match at Wimbledon. In Paris, we also played a good match. This time I went out to play against her with another approach and tactics, tried to use the chances of aggressively as possible. Such rivals cannot be played with caution. We decided that I should act freely and aggressively throughout the court.
Undoubtedly, it is one of the biggest victories in my career. After all, she was obtained at Major, against the rival I have lost twice, and where the favorite was not me. This is a great victory
Svitolin’s match is still spinning in my head, I didn’t think about Thursday [зустріч з Марією Саккарі]but you can not stop – we will prepare and try to show the maximum. I am still enjoying the victory now, but tomorrow begins preparation. A few years ago, we played in the hall on Hardy. At that time, I still did not have experience against rivals of this level, now it is much larger. I’ll go out to the court to do my best. Let’s see in what form it has been, lately I saw it. But it is not invincible. ”
