Iga Świątek dropped out of the WTA 1000 tournament in Miami after a defeat 2: 6, 5: 7 with Philippine Alexandra Eala, listed at 140 items in the WTA ranking. It was the worst match of the Polish woman this season, as experts and supporters write about. “It was a broadcast for people only with strong nerves. Neither the hints nor the Iga's request, or even the meeting of her trainer Wim Fissette and the psychologist Daria Abramowicz” – wrote Łukasz Jachimiak from Sport.pl.
– So playing Christmas, so spoiling Christmas, but above all I have not seen so badly around the court. After all, it was always her strongest point. Something macabre happened in this match. I don't know if she had a quarrel with someone or something else happened. Something caused her to go to a courtyard like jelly. It was visible from the first ball – commented Karol Stopa from Eurosport in an interview with “Fakt”.
In connection with this course of the meeting, questions and comments about the work of the Staff of Świątek gained strength. Mainly everyone means coach Wim Fissette and psychologist Daria Abramowicz. – I certainly didn't play my tennis and I didn't work out a lot. I made a lot of mistakes at the beginning and I couldn't dig up from it. I do not like to get hints every point, so at the end of the match I could not focus even on it – said Świątek after the match.
Fibak has no doubt about Christmas. “She lost the timing on the court”
What is the cause of the weaker form at Świątek? Wojciech Fibak believes that stress strongly paralyzes Iga on the court. – Iga is fighting for everything. Each match wants to win from such an assumption, for her, every point is important. However, when she does not go, you can see that stress stiffens her, does not stand the pressure he pregnant. Especially forhend does not work as it should. That's why rivals play her side. This was the case in this match with Eala – said Fibak in an interview with the Polish Press Agency.
– I still believe in Iga. Whenever the tournament begins, I bet it will win. Unfortunately, stress does not help her. As it is said nicely, Iga has recently lost Timing – Fibak added. At the same time, he drew attention to the games lost by Iga at his own website.
– In women's tennis, the application is not as important as in male. 99 percent of the players play from the depths of the court. Return is important. He opens the way to score points – explained the former tennis player.
What are the next start plans of Świątek? It is certain that the Polish woman will perform in the WTA 500 tournament in Stuttgart, which will take place on April 14-21. Perhaps Świątek will also perform in the Billie Jean King Cup qualifying tournament in Radom, which will take place on April 10-12.
