“IGA has publicly spoken about their behavior in the last tournaments and their experiences”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
“I see that a lot has been talking about changes in my cord and emotions lately. Although it is not very convenient for me to explain, it is time to share my point of view to stop speculation and unfounded theories.
First, about the incident in the last match. This is true – I expressed disappointment in a way that I am not proud of. I never intended to target the ball with someone, I just splash my disappointment, hitting it on the ground. I immediately apologized to the bolb, we met our eyes and nodded to each other when I regret it that it happened near him. I saw how many despair players beat the balls, and honestly, I did not expect such harsh condemnes. Usually I control such impulses, so the half -jokingly I can say that I have no experience in this, and I was wrong with the sight in the heat of the moment.

Secondly, regarding the manifestation of emotions. The second half of last year was extremely difficult for me, especially because of a positive doping test and because circumstances that absolutely no dependent on me deprived me of a chance to fight for the highest sports goals at the end of the season. It made me look at some things within myself. In Australia, after the weaker speeches in previous years, I played without expectations, focusing exclusively on my work, having reconciled with the fact that another AO may not happen to me, despite all efforts. Thanks to this mood, I made very well and was close to the final.
However, in the Middle East, it became clear to me that a positive test, the passage of two high -ranking tournaments in October and the exceptional results last year will continue to influence my rating and, in fact, will deprive me of the chances. This awareness deeply upset me. You could see it at the court in Dubai.
I know that playing, stuck in past frustrations, because of things I can’t control is the wrong way. I and my team have realized this problem almost immediately (with their experience, perhaps faster than anyone can imagine), but changes require considerable time, effort and support of the team.
This leads me to two important points.

First, working on yourself is not what you reach at the moment and keep it forever. Sometimes we take two steps forward and one step back. I constantly face new elements of this puzzle: circumstances change, my experience evolves, I evolve, rivals evolve, and I have to adapt constantly. It is always not easy, and now it is especially difficult for me. They do not work in sports. I had three incredible seasons, but nothing is made without effort, and there is no guarantee that the results would always be light or controlled. Such is life, such and sports. Sometimes even I forget about it.
Second, constant condemnation. When I am very concentrated and do not show a lot of emotions on the court, I am called a robot, and my attitude is inhuman. Now that I become more emotional, I show feelings or fight inside myself, I am suddenly called immature or hysterical. This is an unhealthy norm, especially considering that only six months ago I felt that my career was hanging on the hair, for three weeks she was crying every day and did not want to go to the court. Today, after everything I have experienced, I still digest and reconcile with that experience.
Will it change anything? Most likely, no, because I clearly see how much we love to judge, create theories and impose thought to others. But maybe a few people who sincerely want to understand what I feel will understand it. In any case, this external standard “is definitely not mine, and I do not accept my team and I will drive myself within the external expectations.”
The next WTA 1000 tournament in Miam will be the next competition, where it is sown under the second number. In the 2nd circle it will play either against Carolin Garcia or against Anna Bondar.
