Iga Swiatek Yet to Drop a Set at the US Open | TC Live

QUARTERFINAL ON A HARDCOURT SINCE THE 2022 AUSTRALIAN OPEN. HOW ABOUT THAT? TAKING A LOOK AT THE TOP HALF OF THE DRAW, SHE GETS LIUDMILA SAMSONOVA. NEXT WE GOT ONE AMERICAN IN JESSIE PEGULA. IGA SAID SHE'S STAYING IN A DIFFERENT PART OF THE CITY DOING SOME LEGOS, READING A LOT. CHANDA, AS MUCH AS A WORLD NUMBER ONE CAN BE UNDER THE RADAR. SHE SEEMS TO BE PLAYING THAT ROLE A LITTLE BIT. >> YEAH, AND I THINK IT'S BEEN GOOD FOR HER JUST TO RELEASE A LITTLE BIT OF THE PRESSURE, WHICH HAS BEEN OFF THE CHARTS FOR SWIATEK REALLY ALL YEAR. AND CERTAINLY AFTER THE OLYMPICS WHERE, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT WAS A VERY EMOTIONAL EVENT FOR HER AT ROLAND GARROS. SO I THINK THE FACT THAT SHE MAYBE WASN'T PLAYING QUITE AS GOOD ON THE LEAD UP, ON THE HARD COURTS, IN THE LEAD UP EVENTS TO THIS U.S. OPEN HAS ALLOWED HER TO JUST RELEASE A LITTLE BIT OF THAT PRESSURE, AND SHE'S PLAYING A LITTLE MORE FREELY, SHE'S PLAYING A LITTLE MORE RELAXED. TENNIS WE'RE SEEING, I THINK, A CALMER MINDSET, AND THAT HELPS AS WELL. AND SO THIS IS WHERE I THINK IGA SWIATEK CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY AS SHE GETS MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THE SPEED OF THESE COURTS. >> BEST POSSIBLE SITUATION FOR IGA AND HER PERSONALITY. IT'S VERY RARE THAT YOU HAVE A WORLD NUMBER ONE WHERE ALL THE ATTENTION ISN'T SQUARELY ON THEM. THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT STORYLINES HERE, AND IGA IS NOT IN THE IN THE TOP COUPLE. SO I THINK FOR HER TO BE ABLE TO JUST FOCUS ON HER TENNIS, KEEP THE UNFORCED ERRORS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS, THAT'S JUST A DANGEROUS COMBINATION. TOUGH NEXT ROUND THAT SHE'S GOT AGAINST A VERY BIG HITTER. BUT BUT I LIKE THE WAY SHE'S
