Karolina Pliskova reached her maiden final at Wimbledon after defeating Aryna Sabalenka and she finds it hard to believe.
Pliskova has been a good tennis player for a long time but her results in 2021 have been very poor. Even when she played several good matches it ended badly like the Rome Masters final when she lost 0-6 0-6 to Iga Swiatek. Asked about her expectations ahead of Wimbledon she said:"Coming into this tournament, the dream was to make the second week, of course, because I was not in [a Grand Slam] the second week for a while. Never I thought about maybe going into the final."
Yesterday was a tough match for her as she lost the first set despite arguably being the better player for the better part of the set. Asked about that she said:
"After losing the first set, I thought it was going to be super tough to win this match. Then to win two sets in a row with the way how she was serving today -- I think she was serving incredible, all my chances she just put amazing serves in. Super proud about the way how I handled the situation out there, the second and third set, and that I served out the match."
She was also asked about the the final vs Barty to which she said:
"It can't be any better than that," Pliskova said, looking forward to the final. "You want to play the best player in the final. Of course, I don't want anybody else but [Barty] there."
"It can't be any better than that," Pliskova said, looking forward to the final. "You want to play the best player in the final. Of course, I don't want anybody else but [Barty] there."
