"There is no sense to change anything": No changes for Swiatek as Roland Garros final approaches

Iga Swiatek is in another Roland Garros (French Open) final after beating Beatriz Haddad Maia in straight sets and she's excited about possibly winning her 3rd.

Swiatek made the final two times before this year and she won both times. This year will see her contest her 3rd Roland Garros final and she's likely to win again because she's just so good. The favourite to win the event since the start, Swiatek is happy about making another final after playing consistently for two weeks:

“Of course. It’s really amazing. Honestly, it’s just tough to play a long tournament. I’m really happy I’m able to play consistently. I’m pretty excited to play another day and see how it’s going to go."

Keys to win

Swiatek didn't play a perfect match as she was broken in the match and Haddad Maia generally had moments where she gave the Polish player trouble. Speaking after the match, Swiatek was unsure what actually proved crucial in the match but for the most part it's her consistency in rallies that proved the winning formula:

“I don’t know. It’s a tough question. For sure, she used the fact she’s lefty and she has a very nice game for a clay court with a lot of top spin. It wasn’t easy, she’s a fighter, so I knew I had to be ready for every game because the momentum can change pretty quickly. I’m happy I played so well in the tiebreak, I’m glad I was solid. I tried to push on every point. I’m happy that it worked.”

Asked about preparing for the final, Swiatek said that she's not going to change anything because it's been working:

“There is no sense to change anything. If you’re in a final it means your routine is working. Our goal is to play this match as any other one. I always tried to do that and it usually works.”
