“On June 1, Elina played three matches in Jasmine and won the 1/8 Final of the RG-2025”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
“Today I am most sorry because I showed great tennis. It was a good match, and maybe I could have played better in some gammes on my serving. But in my opinion, she played very well, every time she was back in the role. On the matches, she punched one ball well, and otherwise I was in a hurry, too early played on line.
It may be different next time. I lost today, but sometimes everything decides one point. It’s cruel. If that ball passed, and she was wrong – we would talk about another now, and everything would be positive. And now – on the contrary. But this is normal, so it happens.
I think the match was high. In the third set I clearly surrendered. I had a lot of opportunities to cling to the expense, but I made stupid mistakes. So, probably, I do not regret not the limb of the second set, but how the third quickly passed.
Did I give up physically? But no, physically I didn’t feel so bad. Of course, it is difficult when you lose a set like the second. The intensity was high. Maybe I just got a little squeezed – what probably didn’t have to happen.
She started the third set well, and I think it was difficult to get psychologically gather. It was necessary to hold on, to cling, but maybe I was not clear, especially in the moments when I had a break-point in the third set.
Comparing this match with what was in Australia, the game level was higher. We had a really quality match – two networks at a high level, and then I asked a little in the third. In some ways, perhaps the match and looks like Australian – in the scenario of the third set. But, as I said, the level here was a little higher.
Elina is a very complex rival. She is now in good shape. I think she may even like to play against me. My task was to play aggressively. Because when I did not, she took the initiative. She knows how to play aggressively, but at the same time she gives almost nothing just. I think, in terms of tactics, I especially have nothing to blame myself.
As she said, the mattles are just drawing. They can go anywhere. Probably, I could start starting a Tai Breik, and I could definitely start a third set. But in general, I gave everything I could. Unfortunately, sometimes this is not enough – especially when the rival playing better at important moments. And I may have broken a little. ”
Svitolina won three sets with a score of 4: 6, 7: 6 (8: 6), 6: 1, and in the second party did not allow the Italians to sell three matches.
