Swiatek: “This is confirmation that the sky is the limit”

the polish Iga Swiatek this Saturday ensured that the title was captured in US Open it gave him “confirmation that the sky is the limit” and that he was proud of his mental growth.

“I didn’t know if I was ready to win the US Open, with such a fast surface, it’s something I didn’t expect. But it’s confirmation that the sky is the limit. I’m proud, surprised and very happy, ” Said Swiatek in the press conference after the final won 6-2 and 7-6(5) against Tunisian Ons Jabeur.

First representative of Polish tennis, on the men’s or women’s circuit, capable of conquering the US Open, Swiatek recognized that this tournament is more complicated than Roland Garros, where he is a double champion, in terms of conditions.

“At Roland Garros I feel more in control, I think it’s more my place. Here at Ashe I have to adapt to the environment. But I was focused today and I didn’t let myself be conditioned,” he said.

However, he says he feels more pressure in Paris than in New York.

“I don’t know if there was more pressure in New York than when I won my second title in France, because in that case everyone expected me to win. Here I felt that people didn’t expect too much from me. I think Roland Garros is mentally tough and here it’s more than the physical level,” he said.

With Saturday’s win, Swiatek extended his perfect finals run to ten in ten and celebrated the seventh title of his extraordinary season.

“I don’t like the day before the finals at all, I feel like I have to have adrenaline to enjoy it, but when I go out on the court I just think about the things that make me play better. It’s not easy, but it feels I’m on the court I know I’m doing my job and I’m happy about it,” she said.
