World number one polka Iga Swiętek said she was offended by missed chances in match against Czech Linda Noskova in the third round of the Australian Open.
Sventek lost to the 19-year-old Czech with a score of 6:3, 3:6, 4:6.
“I don’t have many thoughts right now.” I have to look and analyze what I did wrong. I felt like I had everything under control until she broke in the second set. Yes, I had a few opportunities to take his serve in the second set, but I didn’t use them. It hurts.
Sometimes I was in a hurry and didn’t play naturally. I think I’m going to have to work on that to feel more comfortable next year.
Noskova serves in the style of Sabalenka and Rybakina in terms of positioning and speed. I would say that during this tournament, I served differently than usual, especially during my second serves. But I still did everything I could to try to succeed. Technically, it didn’t work. “I don’t regret anything,” Schwiatek said at a news conference.
Noskova’s next opponent, ranked 50th in the WTA rankings, will be Ukrainian Elina Svitolina (19th seed).
