“IGA gave way to Amandi in two sets and left hard Major in New York”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
– Igo, your thoughts about the match?
– Today I could not win, playing and giving the way I did, especially when Amanda was so aggressive at the reception.
– How are you the least satisfied in your game?
– In the back of the back line, everything was fine, but the feed failed. She won more points on her serving. Sometimes I could not hit the first ball, and from the second it immediately attacked. This became a key point.
– How did you prepare for this match, given the Wimbledon finals, where did you win 6-0, 6-0?
– It didn’t matter to me. Everyone knows that Amanda can play at a high level. In London, she has a failed match, but that does not mean that it will always be the same. I knew she was able to show quality tennis. And today she did it.
– Did you influence you that there was a four -hour confrontation between men before your match?
– At the Grand Slam tournament you need to be prepared for it. This is not always convenient, especially when the match is indicated as “not earlier than a certain hour” and then you wait a long time. But it is tennis, and here you need to be able to adjust. There is no point in thinking too much.
– How much was today Amanda was different from what was in the Wimbledon finals?
– She was completely different. She moved better, played better, everything was different. But for me it was not a surprise because I was training with her and know how well she can play.
– Problems with feeding today is a consequence of a rival’s pressure or a general trend?
– I think I did not serve too well throughout the tournament. But precisely because Amanda turned the balls so cool, the difference has become more noticeable. On the second submission, she immediately pressed, and so it was more noticeable. I did not work out a serving between matches, so I just accept this fact and move on.
– How do you evaluate how Amandi managed to cope with the defeat in the Wimbledon finals and return so strong?
– It should be asked for it. There are painful defeat in tennis, but there is no other choice: you need to move on and try to play well next time.
