Wiktorowski wróć, prosimy”. Gortat od razu zareagował
- Some of her hits were completely unexpected. I didn’t expect it to hit it so flat. She went all out and hit those returns, so it wasn’t easy to answer. She was quite relaxed and just went all out. She felt a good rhythm and it helped her… – said Iga Świątek at a press conference after a 26, 5:7 defeat to Alexandra Eala in the quarter-finals of the WTA 1000 tournament in Miami. – Today I had the impression that my forhend failed a little – she added in the context of her game. The Polish woman made as many as 32 unforced mistakes, rival only 12.

“Tomek Wiktorowski come back, please.” There is Gortat reaction
Unfortunately, this is not the first weaker performance of the vice-leader of the ranking, although so far this season she lost to the leading players of the world – this was the case in Indian Wells and Dubai, where she had to recognize the superiority of Mirra Andreeva. This time she lost to the 140th player of the world. This is the first defeat of Christmas with a tennis player from outside the top 100 in four years.
Mateusz Ligęza, a journalist of Radio ZET, pointed out how long the Polish woman waits to reach the final. “The last Iga Christmas final in tennis tour…291 days ago. At the French Open. I will not be surprised if there are fans with the banners ‘Tomek Wiktorowski come back at the next matches, please'” – the journalist concluded, referring to the change of the main coach of Christmas at the end of last season. Tomasz Wiktorowski was replaced by Wim Fissette. Marcin Gortat did not use the words to his post – he set up an eloquent emoticon.
Początek współpracy Igi Świątek z Wimem Fissette’em był bardzo obiecujący. Polka na początku roku dotarła do półfinału Australian Open po raz pierwszy od trzech lat, ale ostatnie wyniki nie były już tak optymistyczne. Teraz przed Polką okres gry na kortach ziemnych, jej królestwie, co z pewnością będzie weryfikacją tej kooperacji – przynajmniej w oczach kibiców.
