Iga Swiatek – The “Great Problem Solver”
Iga Swiatek has qualified for her first Australian Open Semi-final. The world No.7 has played some of the best tennis of her career in the past two weeks and has booked a much-deserved place into the semi-finals of the Australian Open 2022.
Iga wasn’t very successful after her first grand slam win at the french open 2020. The 20-year-old has made an unbelievable comeback into professional tennis in the past couple of months and is all set to win her second grand slam title.
After her win Eurosport expert Barbara Schett said, “She’s a great problem solver now. In the last year, she has evolved so much, mentally and tactically on the court, You could see after she lost the first set against Kanepi that she was stepping in the court, closer to the baseline, taking the ball earlier, and trying to get back in control of the rallies. She’s done that extremely well. You could see at the end of the match how relieved she was, she shed a few tears once again out there. She’s going strong I have to say, love it!”
“In the past, she always felt more comfortable on a clay court. She was also sometimes a bit late with that forehand wing. Now she moves better, physically she’s got a lot stronger and she’s got a lot smarter. Last year was a big learning curve and now she can mix it up. She can flatten that forehand out, she can still play that spin, she throws in those forehand and backhand cross-court angles which I would love to see a little bit more. She is evolving month by month.” Shett added
