"I was little bit in trouble" - admits Swiatek after close call against Zheng
WTATuesday, 31 May 2022 at 09:30
Iga Swiatek dropped her first set on Roland Garros in more than a month against China's Zheng Qinwen but rallied for a 6-7(5) 6-0 6-2 victory on Chatrier to extend her winning streak to 32.
It was a tough match for Swiatek and it demonstrated that no match from now on will be easy. The last 8 players in the draw are there for a reason and every match will be tough. Touching upon this one, Swiatek said:
"I tried to loosen up my hand a little bit. She played really good tennis with heavy topspins. The key in the second set was kind of not letting her do that again. I'm pretty happy that I could play a little bit faster and put pressure on her. ... I felt like I was a little bit in trouble, and I was able to come back and really refocus and find other solutions, so that's great."

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
