Swiatek on the controversial double rebound: "I told myself it was up to the referee to make the decision".
Iga Swiatek has qualified for the semi-finals of the Australian Open after an express victory over Emma Navarro.
But in this match without suspense, a controversy emerged when the world n°2 won a point despite a double rebound.
Asked about this moment in the match at the press conference, Swiatek admitted that she hadn't clearly seen what had happened: "Honestly, I didn't see the replay because I didn't look at the screens and I wanted to stay focused and not keep this point in my head.
I didn't know if it was a double rebound or if I'd hit it with the frame of the racket. It was hard to tell because I was in full sprint. I don't even remember seeing the point of contact.
Sometimes you don't really look when you hit the ball. I wasn't sure. I told myself it was up to the referee to make the decision.
I was also waiting for VAR, but I didn't see it, so I carried on. I concentrated on the next point."
