#夏日生活打卡季##巴黎奥运##WTA##斯瓦泰克#
World No. 1 Swiatek of Poland will leave Paris 2024 with a bronze medal in the women's singles, becoming the first Poland tennis player to win an Olympic medal by defeating Slovakia's Schmiedlova 6-2, 6-1 in the bronze medal match that ended in the early hours of the morning... Swiatek needed just 59 minutes to defeat world No.67 Schmiedlova at the Philippe · Chatelier Stadium, a venue all too familiar to the 23-year-old Poland, who has won four French Open titles in the past five years.
Swiatek cried in the lounge after losing to No. 6 seed Zheng Qinwen in Thursday's semifinals. Soon Swiatek calmed down and regrouped into the bronze medal match, where she refused to give in or lose again and won what seemed to be a consolation match, and it was still a memorable week for the 29-year-old veteran Schmiedlova Despite not winning a medal in the end, she defeated the top 10 players in back-to-back matches for the first time in her career this week, defeating 2024 Wimbledon finalist Paulini and 2024 Wimbledon champion Krejcikova. Thus entering the battle for medals.
Schmiedlova took the lead from the start, the unseeded player broke Swiatek first to take a 2-0 lead, everyone thought that Swiatek seemed to be affected by the semi-final loss to Zheng Qinwen and was out of form, perhaps the opening deficit stimulated Swiatek, and soon Swiatek began to fight back and won six games in a row... In the second set, Swiatek didn't give Schmiedlova any more chance, forcing a mistake with her forehand and breaking serve to take a 3-1 lead before ending the fight in straight sets to win Poland's first Olympic tennis medal.
After the match, Swiatek said that "the Olympics are behind us and now it's time to start preparing for the summer hardcourt season in North America"... I believe that in the upcoming 7 stops in North America, including the US Open, she will still bring wonderful performances to fans.
