Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina She commented on the defeat of Izi Swontek in the match of the 1/4 finals of the Open Championship of France 2025:

Obviously, today is not the result that you were counting on, but reaching the quarter -finals is a great achievement, especially at the Grand Slam tournament. How do you evaluate your speech here as a whole?

– Yes, of course, it was a good tournament for me, especially given that I didn’t feel good before it. I got a little sick, so I started a low expectation tournament. But she played a quarterfinals, had excellent matches, real battles. There is definitely a lot of positive that I can take out of this tournament. In general, good emotions from the speech.

We saw that there was a strong wind on the central court today. How much did he interfere with you?

– Of course, it was difficult, but the conditions are the same for both of us. It seems that on one side of the court it was harder to play than on the other, and we just tried to cope with it. The IGA conducted the first set well, managed to bring him to win with a score of 6: 1. She was better able to adapt to the conditions in the first party than me. Then I tried to focus completely on how to play against the wind, with the wind. Of course, playing with Iga in general is not easy. So there was a lot of everything today.

What did you take out of this match? After all, IGA is really a very complex rival, but in the second set you were on an equal footing, and it is probably now the best tennis player. What do you personally consider positive in a match where you played more than a whole set?

– Definitely, I made a lot of positive. And not only from this match, but in general it was a good tournament for me. The whole soil season was good. I played well with different rivals and won many matches. Of course, playing against Igs today is a serious challenge, regardless of the coverage. Therefore, it is necessary to show your best game against it. And especially here, on this court, where she won many matches and trophies, she feels very confident. To win it, you need to play your best tennis from the first to the last draw. I am pleased that I can challenge the top tennis players. This is what I train – to find a way to win them to return to the top 10. This is my goal and I try to work a lot for it.

Was the moment in the second set when you believed that you could do the same cabec as against Jasmine Paolini?

– I didn’t think about Kambek. I tried to focus on my game, play a draw for a draw. Of course, I had to believe that I would be able to win the second set because the bill was close – 5: 5. It is always difficult when playing against Ig. It does not give light points. It is very difficult to work to earn them.

What can you say about the game of the IGA after this match? After all, she had difficulty in her tournaments, but now she is probably again confident. How do you evaluate her game now?

– I think she shows a good game. In our previous meetings, she also played very well. Even in the match that was before, in Miami, she played very much. There were two heavy networks. Today in the first set I played not so good, but in the second level was high. It seems to me that she punches well on the ball. Of course, it is difficult for me to speak as a whole because I do not watch all her matches, but she plays very well against me.

In the semifinals, we will see IGU Swontek against Arina Sobolenko. What do you think will be stronger?

– It’s hard to say. Both are top players. They both perform very well in this tournament, and in the past have already played many matches against each other. It seems that some of those matches were in favor of Sventtek, some in favor of Sobolenko. It’s hard to say. It seems to me, the chances of 50 to 50, but you know, Iga has already won here several times. It seems to be in good shape again. Therefore, I think it has the advantage of this court due to the large number of victories she won here. She feels very confident here.
