Iga Swiatek Stuttgart Press Conference after loss to Elena Rybakina

[magorzataewa]

Iga nie musisz się tłumaczyć . Jesteś tylko człowiekiem. To normalne, że czasem przegrywasz, nie zawsze będziesz wygrywać . Tak jest w sporcie, samo życie, nikt nie jest doskonały i nie jesteś maszyną zaprogramowaną na zwyciężanie . Zagrałaś wspaniały mecz, gdyby nie małe błędy (auty) w trzecim secie losy meczu mogłyby potoczyć się inaczej, albo gdyby pierwszy set był inny. Masz przed sobą jeszcze wiele wygranych: setki, a może nawet tysiące . Masz tylko 22 lata. jesteś bardzo młoda. Nie stresuj się już . idź naprzód i nic się nie martw! Wierzę w Ciebie ; masz przeogromny talent, świat jeszcze o Tobie nie raz usłyszy! Niech Ci Bóg błogosławi a Matka Najświętsza ma w swojej opiece. Dziękuję, że tak pięknie reprezentujesz Polskę .😍😍😍😍😍

Iga, both of you played great, powerful tennis. The level was so high, this could have been a worthy match in the Final. You can be proud of your speed and intensity. Unfortunately you hit the ball out in important moments. If you could have controlled that, the match would have been different. Admit that to yourself, and work on this part of the game before the next tournament!

Lovely and talented Iga. So thoughtful and analytical.

No shame in losing to Ryba. Iga's 1st serve let her down today. Even Iga said it here, that is her, Ryba & Saba who are the best on tour. They all push each other but Iga is still ahead of them both by a mile. Better days ahead!

Give the girl a break. She's been #1 for 99 weeks. She's a fantastic tennis player and a wonderful young woman. Stop asking stupid questions. She'll be #1 in WTA rankings for at least a few more months even if she doesn't win in any finals.

Taki jest sport, raz się wygrywa, raz się przegrywa. Jednak widać że Iga za bardzo się denerwuje w takich meczach i popełnia za dużo błędów. Do tego za mało urozmaica swoją grę, przydałoby się trochę więcej luzu, trochę więcej drop shotow. No i ciągle powinna pracować nad serwisem, bo Rybakina serwuje zdecydowanie lepiej.

Iga is the best returner in the WTA, no ifs and buts. The way she was returning in this match, she would have beaten everybody not named Elena. It's just that no amount of skill can overcome the aces and unreturnables that Elena serves.

[KanatLS]

Good interview, she is giving credit to rybakina. That's good too see.

The goal is to win the French and Olympics - in the same venue, on slower outside conditions. You are on track Iga and time your peak, still the Queen of clay.

It was 1GA'S 3rd match on clay this year. She csme to Stuttgart directly from BJKCUP in Biel on hard court. First practice on clay this year. If 1GA played Elene in the fina she would be much better. Today Elena played better but the match was very tight. It was a 3 set battle. Though 1GA has won with Rybakina on hard this year. The more 1GA will play on clay she will get to her top form. 3 GS in RĢ did not come as a gift...Today was not 1GA day. If she played as with Raducanu she would have won. Elena played her best match in Stuttgart with 1GA. Congrats to Elena fot the win and to 1GA for the battle with herself, her serve and her own pressure as she said herself. They will.probable have more chances this season to compete again. Good luck to both❤.

Love you Iga! Enjoyed your game, russian had nothing to lose, hence the extra confidence on her side. Keep it up! And stay healthy❤!!

Her coaches changing her serve this year was a big mistake. Her serve has become less reliable and maybe more predictable. She is 22. She's #1. She's going to be on top for a long time because only Rybakina has the complete gane required to beat her. Sabalenka is good, too, but inconsistency hurts her. She has trouble with the truly top players like iga and rybakina that can deal with her power and make her keep hitting balls back. I think its great to NOT have Iga just dominate everyone. Rybakina v Swiatek is women's version of Federer vs Djokovic, or now Sinner vs Alcaraz. Its good for tennis.

All losses and wins are important but particularly when you're winning a Porshe :)). But at her level what really counts are GSs. Maybe 1000s . The rest are only preparations. Rybakina was today better at every aspect of the game.

[Maria-on]

IGA,
100 TYGODNI NUMER JEDEN!!!
Następnej stówy Ci życzę i wierzę w Ciebie. You are the best!!!💯❤️

Iga needs a better serve. That's the main thing. Or at least the second serve can't be so weak that the opponent could just pounce on. Even at amateur level, weak second serves are punished.

Успехов вам в дальнейшем 😊но Елена лучшая ❤ мы её любим ❤🇰🇿

[tennisobserver]

The way I see it, only Iga can beat Elena Rybakina at Roland Garros this year if Rybakina is 100% healthy. Iga's serve is already much better this year compared to last year. In fact she is already #1 in the WTA in service games won percentage and Rybakina is just second to her. I don't think her serve can be much better but she can improve it by varying its placement and spins so it will not be predictable. Iga can never serve as fast as Rybakina because Iga is only 5'9" and she is not as powerful as Serena Wiliiams who is built like a tank, and she does not have Rybakina's in-born sense of timing and accuracy as far as the serve is concerned. Not even Karolina Pliskova and Caroline Garcia who are great servers serve as well as Rybakina. I believe only Naomi Osaka has the potential to rival Rybakina in the serving department because Elena Rybakina is an all-time great server. Iga will increase her chances of beating her by developing very good slices and drop shots to disrupt Elena's rhythm and by improving her volleying skills. She can't win in a no-holds barred hitting slugfest with Rybakina because Rybakina is more powerful and accurate.

Iga really fantastic and humble player

I hope her rivalry between Sabalenka and Rybakina bring new era for WTA
