Elena Rybakina a vu son parcours dans ce Roland-Garros 2025 s'arrêter en huitièmes de finale ce dimanche, après une défaite cruelle face à la tenante du titre, Iga Swiatek. La Kazakhe a pourtant démarré en trombe, remportant le premier set 6-1 et breakant d'entrée dans le deuxième, mais la Polonaise a fait preuve d'une belle force mentale pour renverser la situation et s'imposer au finish, 1-6, 6-3, 7-5. Titrée à Strasbourg et passée pas loin de faire tomber la quadruple championne à Roland-Garros, Rybakina a tout de même rassuré sur son niveau avant de partir sur gazon.

00:30Bonjour, je voulais vous demander si vous trouvez des moments clés dans ce match ?
00:38Oui, il y a un moment dans le second set où j'avais le volley sur le net et j'ai perdu.
00:46Si elle tourne autour, elle a commencé à jouer agressif et j'ai déjà perdu.
00:53Et aussi physiquement, j'ai commencé avec une très bonne intensité, j'étais agressif.
01:00Donc, dans le second set, c'était très rapide.
01:03Donc, c'était difficile de revenir.
01:06En général, je pense que je n'ai pas puissé bien avec les pieds sur le net.
01:12Donc, c'était un peu difficile.
01:16Bonjour, Léna. Szemak Pazarski, Radio Tech FM, Poland.
01:19Comment vous considérez-vous de la forme pour le reste de Roland Garros ?
01:26Parce que quand elle est venu comme numéro 5,
01:29dans notre pays, elle n'a pas été considérée comme la plus grande préférée pour gagner.
01:33Est-ce que ce match pourrait être changé ?
01:36Je pense que ce match est difficile.
01:38C'est plus difficile, c'est plus de confiance.
01:40Et surtout quand elle est plus loin dans le draw.
01:44Donc, je pense qu'elle a toutes les chances, comme tout le monde.
01:49Elle a joué bien dans certains moments, des moments.
01:53Elle a très grande intensité.
01:56Donc, je pense qu'elle a toutes les chances.
01:59Tout l'heure, tu as dit que tu as l'aiderait de ce genre.
02:03Qu'est-ce que tu pensais qu'il y a quelque chose de plus difficile,
02:06si tu pensais qu'il y avait une raison pour cette raison ?
02:08Tu ne sais pas, avoir joué des matchs de moments
02:10?
02:11I think because, of course, Iga is making you play on your highest level
02:18and, of course, she's always pushing you.
02:21So I knew that when I came out on the court, no matter the first set,
02:25first of all, I was playing very aggressive
02:27and I was using a lot of energy on the serve and on this first ball.
02:32So I knew that I might have a drop
02:35and also she get used to the speed of my ball.
02:38So after it was just getting tighter and tighter
02:42and I think at some moments my serve didn't help me much
02:49and then her intensity was better.
02:53And again, I had all the opportunities.
02:55Even when this third set was for all, I was down on my serve
03:00and then it turned around so I was up 5-4.
03:03So again, I had the chances.
03:05I didn't maybe risk it where I had to
03:09and played a little bit passive in some important moments.
03:18Iga after the match on the court said that she felt
03:21like she was playing against Yannick Sinner in the first set.
03:25Did you also feel that, that your level of play was so high in the first set?
03:29Yeah, definitely.
03:31As I said, I was playing really high level.
03:34Everything was going in and I think it was not long rallies.
03:41I was just going for each shot.
03:44So I'm happy that I know I have this level.
03:48It's just now the question of consistency
03:50and trying to stay at this level a little bit longer than the first set, one set.
03:57So as I said, I will try to take only positive
04:01and I think overall it's a good tournament for me.
04:06Okay, we'll do Aki and then Ben.
04:09Hi.
04:10At the previous press conference,
04:12you talked about how conditions could be different
04:16depending on whether it's sunny or crowded.
04:19and maybe today at the beginning it's quite sunny
04:24and then getting more like kind of cloudy.
04:27So do you think it affects any play
04:31or can you talk a little bit about that?
04:34No, I think today it was not such a big difference
04:37first set or second set.
04:39It was a little bit colder
04:41but again a couple degrees than the previous days
04:44when it's really sunny and it's very hot
04:47the ball is flying a lot.
04:48This time I felt that I could attack
04:50and a lot of balls were going in.
04:53So I think the conditions throughout the whole match
04:57were like more or less the same.
05:00You guys had so much success here
05:02and you just won the last three years in a row
05:03and I'm wondering if the occasion of sort of playing
05:06someone who's been so good here
05:07at all makes the nerves increase
05:09when you're up to such a good start
05:11and you know you realize you're close
05:12to doing a really big result here potentially.
05:15Not really.
05:16I was not thinking about any of that.
05:20I know that she's a fighter
05:21and that my level was really high for set
05:25and I knew that continuing like that
05:28is not going to be easy
05:29and I was really dominating from very beginning
05:33so to step in and play the same
05:37it is possible
05:41but again it's also very risky
05:45and then the moment changed a little bit
05:49but of course on the match
05:51I don't think of any of the potential results
05:55and so on.
