Cincinnati Montréal Swiatek

Iga Swiatek was eliminated in the round of 16 at the WTA 1000 in Montreal by Clara Tauson. A disappointment for the Polish player, who could have hoped to reclaim the world No. 2 ranking with a title in Canada.

During the press conference, as reported by Tennis Actu, she reflected on her defeat: "For sure, in the tie-break, I made too many mistakes.

In the second set, I felt Clara was still in her momentum and that I hadn’t really solved my problems.

I also made too many mistakes on balls I could have handled. It’s clear I didn’t play perfectly here. I still feel like I need to adjust to hard courts.

And these matches are also a way to relearn. I feel like I made the same mistakes as at the end of my hard-court season in March."

Swiatek will have a chance to bounce back at the Cincinnati tournament in the coming days.
