Number one out
41 (!) mistakes – then bitter tears in the dressing room
Iga Swiatek is out! 41 unforced errors were the world number one's undoing in the US Open quarter-final against Jessica Pegula from the USA. Bitter tears flowed in the dressing room after the 2:6 and 4:6 defeat.
Swiatek missed the chance to win her sixth Grand Slam title. The 23-year-old got off to a weak start, quickly trailing 0:4. Pegula won the first set after just 37 minutes.
Swiatek also repeatedly made easy mistakes in the second set, especially with her forehand. After the break to 3:4, she hit her racket into the net in anger. The final rally came too late and the Polish player made a total of 41 unforced errors.
Swiatek was hugely disappointed and tears flowed in the dressing room.
"I didn't find a solution"
"It wasn't a good performance from me today," Swiatek summed it up. "I really don't understand why my serve didn't work. I didn't find a solution for it."
