Hello everyone! I'm Yato! Today we continue to talk about tennis!
Upset! World No. 1 women's singles player Swiatek was overturned and had to stop in the round of 16 after being defeated by Putintseva, who performed well in the warm-up match, 3-6, 6-1, 6-2. It would have been the favourite, after all, Swiatek was far ahead in points.
If you watch this game, you feel that Swiatek is losing to herself, you think her score is quite difficult, how many of her own service games have been lost, I feel that I have not lost unjustly, after the game, she herself also said that her performance is not ideal, so that her opponent Putintseva has a chance to take advantage of it, affirming her cousin's performance, and at the same time seeing that even if Swiatek won the first set, she was not psychologically confident, chaotic, no pace, afraid of more beats, and psychologically confused.
I think the biggest problem may be a shadow for Swiatek, I feel that there is a reason why she cried after the game, and I feel that this game completely exposes her own problems: the forehand swing and grip make her very afraid of returning the ball quickly, the hard court and clay are the right leg retreats sideways to avoid squeezing, and the grass is too fast to do so, and the forehand can't hold it. The topspin is even worse for her, the height of hitting the past is the opponent's comfortable receiving height, pulling up the arc to slow down the ball speed, and the opponent is easy to change the line, which is like Wang Xinyu against Dart, at the last moment Dart has no score in his own heart, and he is confused.
Putintseva can see that she is still more suitable for grass, so the sense of confidence and fearlessness is expressed, in fact, it is the eldest cousin who has been fighting since the first service game, and has been looking for a feeling in the front, but she is not used to it at the beginning, and she has already found her touch at the end of the first set, and it is difficult for Exptek to hold serve in the last two service games of the first set.
Putintseva's win over Swiatek is significant, mainly because it ended Swiatek's 21-game winning streak, with 240 points and an instant ranking of 28th, and the Kazakh won eight straight wins on grass and faced Ostapenko in the next round, but the next round of Putintseva will not be so smooth, and the top 8 is a bit difficult to enter.
