After her victory over Linda Noskova in the third round at Indian Wells, Iga Swiatek shared her satisfaction with regrouping despite making early “mistakes” in the match. The Polish player emphasized the importance of not letting negative thoughts take over and credited her experience for helping her secure the win..
“I made some mistakes at the beginning. I tried to maybe play to finish the rallies too early. But I knew that if I’m going to try to stay consistent and make a little bit less mistakes, my chances may come. So for sure wasn’t comfortable, but I was ready to break back,” Iga Swiatek said in her
post-match interview.
“I had to kind of change some negative thoughts that I had into just thinking that I wasn’t thinking about just waiting for my chances. I knew that I’m experienced enough to just, you know, hold it together and not really let myself let these negative thoughts win. So I just did that,”
she added.
Iga Swiatek is set to face Yulia Putintseva for a spot in the quarterfinals of the WTA 1000 event. Putintseva earned her place by securing a dominant 6-4, 6-1 victory over Madison Keys. The World No. 1 holds a perfect 2-0 record against Putintseva, with their most recent encounter resulting in a 6-1, 6-3 victory for Swiatek at the 2023 United Cup..
