Complaining that Iga Świątek sometimes doesn’t win and sometimes is eliminated before the final is as intelligent as complaining that Real Madrid doesn’t win all the matches and all the competitions and that Argentina isn’t always world champion.
Iga Świątek will end 2024 with the title from Paris, but also with the worst result in the Grand Slams in three years. However, it is difficult to complain when the Polish tennis player repeatedly plays for the highest stakes in other tournaments. And her elimination from the US Open does not change the perspective on the matter. – Iga is incredibly ambitious and every failure makes her think. In a moment, we will probably talk about the fact that she won the WTA Finals and everyone will be euphoric again – said Świątek’s first coach, Artur Szostaczko, in an interview for TVPSPORT.PL. US Open: we met the finalists. There will be a great match Appetites before the last Grand Slam were naturally high. Iga Świątek was typical among the main favorites to win the US Open, but she had many fluctuations in the tournament. She started with an average match against Kamilla Rachimowa, then three sure wins followed, and finally a defeat against Jessica Pegula. This is how the Polish tennis player closed this year’s stage of the Grand Slams. Insufficiency? Iga certainly feels it, because her hopes for the sixth Grand Slam triumph in her career were fully justified. However, she shouldn’t have any major complaints about herself, even though the performance in New York was far from ideal. First coach Świątek: Iga plays the most equal tennis compared to all the players – You definitely feel dissatisfied, but on the other hand, this tournament was not good at all for Iga. I said that her form would be verified during the second week. In my opinion, it was obvious that the form was unstable. It’s certainly not a disappointment for Iga, but she will feel unsatisfied. Regardless of the fact that she is number one in the world, she is always one of the favorites to win the Grand Slam. The most important thing in tennis is to be humble and be able to lose, says Iga Świątek’s first coach, Artur Szostaczko, in an interview for TVPSPORT.PL. Over the last three years, this season was the worst for Świątek in terms of results in Grand Slams. Of course, she won at Roland Garros, but was eliminated once in the quarterfinals (US Open) and twice in the third round (Australian Open and Wimbledon). A year ago, the result was victory in France, the quarterfinals in London and the 4th round in Australia and the United States. In 2022, she had two Grand Slam wins (French Open and US Open), as well as a semifinal at the Australian Open.
