Iga Swiatek landed on the grass of the All England Club after strolling on the European clay court tour where he won at the Mutua Madrid Open, Rome and Roland Garros. It was deleted after the WTA 500 in Berlin due to fatigue in what was the preparatory tournament for the third major.
Weed is not made for the 23-year-old Pole, at least for the moment. And Iga said goodbye to Wimbledon this Saturday in the third round against Yulia Putintseva, 3-6, 6-1 and 6-2.
Swiatek was unable to turn around a complicated situation and, at times, she got hysterical. He asked his psychologist for explanations, Daria Abramowicz.
There was nothing to do. The world number 1 and first favorite in the draw lost a set, the second, and collapsed. He continues to slide year after year on a green carpet in which he has the 2023 quarters as the best result.
Putintseva, the shortest player in the ‘top100’ with her 1.63 meters, he moved in the plant as in the garden of his house. Her decorated rival, unusually for her, was accumulating unforced errors. He could barely move due to the tension.
I will continue as a leader
Her reign on the women’s circuit is not in danger because Coco Gauff, if she is crowned on Saturday, July 13, would remain 1,352 points from the top. Swiatek, invincible on clay, is not on grass.
