Seismic Swiatek shock down to self-belief admits Linda Noskova: "I just believed in my game"
WTASunday, 21 January 2024 at 05:30
Young Czech Republic’s tennis star Linda Noskova stated that she kept believing in her game during a famous win over the world number one Iga Swiatek at the Australian Open.
The 19-year-old produced arguably the upset of the tournament as she knocked the Polish tennis star in the round of 32 clash in the first Grand Slam of the year with a score of 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Talking after the match, Noskova stated that she just ‘believed’ in her game on the night which proved to be the difference in the match.
“I think it was an unbelievable match for me,” she said. “Playing on such a court for a first time, playing with Iga for a second time. I really wanted to win this, so I’m just glad that I did it. I know my game. I know that I have improved a lot in the last year and a half, year. I mean, I just believed in my game tonight.
“I just really wanted this win because I didn’t really come to that court with the thought of, like, I have nothing to lose. I took it very seriously. It was like a match as any other. I wanted to work on my serve a lot. Obviously my game is to be aggressive almost all the time, especially at the right times. I just work on that daily just to improve the spots where I hit it.
“Obviously when I have such a match like tonight and I’m playing good and I’m feeling good, a lot of points can go my way without even me realizing it, fully knowing if I had planned it or not. I feel like practicing and improving on yourself daily is, like, the main goal for me.”
Noskova will now face Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina in the round of 16 clash of the Australian Open on Monday.
