The Ukrainian tennis player spoke about the match and assessed reaching the third round of competition in the tournament.
The tennis match against Jessica Pegula was very difficult for Elina Svitolina. The most Ukrainian tennis player spoke about it.
According to our athlete, he had to change the course of the game to win a strong victory after losing the first set in the match.
“The first set was very difficult, I couldn’t take advantage of my chances, even though they were there, but in the second set, I just told myself that I have to fight, I have to give everything to return to the match. And I succeeded. I’m very glad that I was able to come back and play in the second and third networks at a very high level.
When you’re playing with a top player, you have to change the pace, play more aggressively. And therefore, when I lost the first set, I was not far from my game, but I had to play more aggressively. In the second set, I told myself that I have to do it and not only run, but also play very aggressively and fight for every ball.
I realized, perhaps, after the match point. Because when you concentrate, when you give everything, and when you’re playing with a top player, you can’t think about winning, that you’re already on top. We have to fight, we have to focus on every point. And I think it helped me a lot today.
There has been incredible support today. I also got goosebumps all over my body several times. It’s really cool, and I’m very grateful to the French fans for supporting me today. It also helped me now to get back into the match and play stronger, play better,” Svitolina said in a commentary on Suspilna Sport.
