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.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
