“Swiss tennis player spoke with journalists”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Victory Council, but already thinking about the semifinals
“I, of course, are very pleased with the victory. The match was very tense and even. I was pleased with how I played two Tai brownies-I was bold and adhered to the plan. I look forward to the semifinals tomorrow. Of course, everything does not end there. Everything is different now, because tomorrow we have no day off, so I’m already trying to focus on the next match. ”
Tactics against Andreeva
“She is a very diverse tennis player, and it is nice to watch. Sometimes it is a little unusual to see a play that not just beats it, but is able to vary. Honestly, I like to watch her matches. Of course, it is more difficult to play against it. Last night, I studied it a lot – I tried to find certain patterns, behavioral moments. I felt ready for the game, because I had not met her before. I didn’t know what to expect, but the advice that made the right plan for the match. ”
About the future match against Swontek
“I am very inspired by this game. I think we had good matches in the past. Obviously, she is a very high quality tennis player, and I am glad to get another opportunity to play with her. I hope I will be able to prepare as well for tomorrow. ”
Preparation for Wimbledon in Bad Homburg
“We spent several days in the Bad-Gurgh, because there was my sparring partner. We trained a lot and tried to get used to the grass. I could not train as much as I wanted to do. We tried to add there. Here, in London, I also had quality workouts – every day I felt improvement. This was our approach. ”
Difference in the state of grass in the first and second week
“It seems that the cover has changed a little compared to the first days. The grass has become more slippery, to move a little harder. Personally, I am more comfortable when the cover is a little worn. This year the situation is different – in the first days it was hot. But I still think that the incredible quality of the courts is here. I almost do not face bad rebounds or some non -standard moments. I like everything very much. Of course, every herbal coating is different. Even if you train on Aorangi, it’s not the same. But you can adapt quite quickly. ”
About the contrast in styles with Swontec
“I think we have nothing to do with her. It plays very physically, with great rotation. On the contrary, I take the ball very early and play more flat. It will be a very interesting match. We have already played several times – there were good meetings. I think it will be the same. So far, I have not had time to think seriously about it – I will do this this day. ”
To think more about a rival or yourself?
“I think it is a combination of both. I try to have a plan going to the court. I do not like to improvise – I prefer a clear understanding of what I try to do. Of course, you have to rely on your game. But, I think, one of my strengths for the whole career is the ability to adapt to different rivals. I can change my style a little and find different approaches. I am not the playful that operates in one plan in any situation. I can adjust – this is my game. ”
The daughter does not interfere with focus
“I don’t know. It seems to me that I still keep concentration. It’s just different. It is very natural now. It’s not something that distracts. Sometimes I’m even better when I’m not too focused. I’m not so nervous before the match and doing what is needed. I would not say that this is a system – it’s just natural. When I go to the court – I focus. ”
As she studies rivals
“Rather, because of conversations. I think I’m a visual person. Even if I do not try specifically to visualize, it happens itself. I don’t really like to record. It is important for me to imagine draws. This especially helps at bedtime – I automatically scroll through moments, unconsciously. I think it’s natural. Then it is easier for me to remember everything. ”
