Sometimes players were all a surprise right now the right kind of players are here I m happy about that - Iga Swiatek on 2022 US Open semifinalists

By DEVANG CHAUHAN Modified 08 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Iga Swiatek is through to the 2022 US Open semifinals. World No. 1 Iga Swiatek defeated American hopeful and eighth seed Jessica Pegula in straight sets 6-3, 7-6 (4) to make it through to the semifinals of the 2022 US Open. She joins Aryna Sabalenka, Caroline Garcia, and Ons Jabeur as the last women standing in the competition. During her post-match press conference, Swiatek revealed that all the players in the last four of the tournament deserve to be there because of their consistency this season. "It seems like the right kind of players are here who are consistent and who are working really hard. You can see that they were improving, like Garcia. Ons is consistent as well in Grand Slams," said Iga Swiatek. "Yeah, it feels like we all earned it. So it's different. I mean, they always earn it. You know what I mean. Sometimes it was just the semifinals were players who were all a surprise. Right now we're pretty solid. So I'm happy about that," she added.

"Looking logically at last tournaments, I just didn't know if this one is going to be possible for me to be consistent and to win so many matches in a row. But, yeah, I feel like I've been playing better and better every week since the start of this swing. So, yeah, it surprised me because after the losses that I had in Toronto and Cincinnati, I just wasn't expecting to play so well here. It gave me actually a lot because I could be kind of an underdog again, not maybe fully, but just not expect from myself that I'm going to win everything right now," she explained.

I had such a different level of focus today I didn t notice most of the stuff that was around - Iga Swiatek on tackling crowd support for Jessica Pegula

Iga Swiatek in action against Jessica Pegula at the 2022 US Open. Iga Swiatek did well to handle the raucous US crowd supporting their home hero Jessica Pegula during the match. The Pole revealed that she blocked out the noise from the fans and focused entirely on her goal of finishing the match. "Honestly I had such a different level of focus today that actually I didn't notice most of the stuff that was around. That's a good thing. Maybe I'm not able to experience everything, but that's what we have to do on court when we're playing, just focusing on what's going on inside," said Swiatek. "Yeah, it was for sure different. I think a little bit louder. But on the other hand I was able to handle that. That's the most important thing for me," she added. She stated that she might notice the crowd noise when she rewatches the match later on. "Maybe I'm going to see the difference when I'm going to be watching that match. But when I was on the court, I just focused on tennis," she said.US Open Tennis@usopenWe're proud of you too, @iga_swiatek ?63483We're proud of you too, @iga_swiatek ? https://t.co/31yALNhFi3 Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Anirudh × Feedback Thank You!
