Svitolina: “I think I’m really showing good tennis”

– Yes, it was a good match, a great performance on my part. I played well, served well. In general, I am very pleased and happy to go to the semifinals here in Madrid.

– This is your 11th consecutive victory, 22 won the networks in a row. This is officially your best series on soil. Can you say that you are now close to your best form for your whole career?

– I think I’m really showing good tennis. I feel confidence, especially after last week and how I play here. While everything is wonderful, but the tournament is not yet complete. Tomorrow is waiting for a serious test, you will need a good match, and I look forward to it.

– This is your 12th semifinals in WTA 1000, but the first in the last four years. When you returned to the tour after the pause, you had doubts that you could reach the semifinals and finals again, or did you always believe in yourself?

– I tried to focus on the work I put. Of course, it is difficult with injuries. The end of last year was not easy due to surgery. Therefore, of course, doubts were normal, we are all people. But when you work a lot, it brings the result. I always try to look at things positively.

– Tomorrow your match will start much later than usual – At 9:30 pm local time. How do you plan the day when the start is so late?
