Undefeated since February, Sviatek, the undisputed leader of the region, continues an incredible streak of 37 consecutive victories.Someone will have to beat him. I’m going to enjoy myself on the big court. I have nothing to lose and sometimes there can be surprises in these cases.In 2014, Nissois defeated Serena Williams, then the undisputed world number one, on Center Court. ” I had just lost my grandmother. I went to Nice for the funeral. I was in a different state of mind, it is not comparable. Against Serena, I had no idea what to expect. There I want to believe it. I’m playing well, so you have to believe it. The French number one confides that he really likes the personality and game of the Pole. ” He brings incredible intensity to the court. He is very athletic. He takes the ball very early and reminds me a bit of Djokovic in his movement. He puts a lot of impact and violence into his punches. He knows how to do everything. It’s complicated especially because it serves so well. In short, there is not much openness. He rides on dynamics. It’s like he’s on a mission every game. While remaining calm, I find him humble and he seems to have high values. She is a very beautiful ambassador for women’s tennis.. »
However, the undefeated Pole seems a little less comfortable on grass than on other surfaces; If there’s one surface to take, it’s grass, I think. My 15 years of experience on this surface can help me, I hope. If the streak is to be broken, it could be here at Wimbledon “. Reply on Saturday.
