Athletistic / Tennis Czech tennis player Karolina Pliskova commented on the defeat of the representative of Belarus Arina Sobolenko in the quarterfinals of the US Open (1:6, 6:7).

“The key was the opening segment – I allowed it too much and just didn’t find my game.

I haven’t shown the tennis I’ve played in the last two games. For example, against Azarenka, I played completely differently. Arina played with great aggression, she served. I haven’t played with her yet when she’s in this state.

Sometimes it happens that your opponent plays fantastic, but everything goes wrong for you. I felt out of place and was just lost.

But nevertheless, I managed to impose a fight on him in the second set. I was hoping to add and take the initiative, because tie-breaks are unpredictable. But you have to give him credit.

In general, I am satisfied with my performance in New York. During the American series, my game was much better than at the beginning and in the middle of the season. I hope I don’t slow down and I can continue to play the same way as here,” Pliskova told a press conference.
