Fin du règne d'Iga Swiatek à Roland-Garros. Triple tenante du titre, la Polonaise a été éliminée en demi-finale par la numéro 1 mondiale Aryna Sabalenka, sur le score de 7-6(1), 4-6, 6-0. Cette défaite met fin à sa série impressionnante de 26 victoires consécutives sur la terre battue parisienne. Après deux premiers set serrés, le troisième a été à sens unique en faveur de Sabalenka, ne commettant aucune faute directe et profitant des erreurs inhabituelles de Swiatek. Lundi, cette dernière chutera à la 7e place du classement WTA... En conférence de presse, Iga a évoqué l'accrochage avec l'arbitre.

00:00BNP Paribas, partenaire des plus belles histoires de Roland Garros, aux côtés des ramasseurs de balles depuis plus de 50 ans.
00:30Oui, c'est probablement pas un bon tournement, mais comme vous l'avez dit, ce n'était pas le résultat que j'ai voulu.
00:38Les questions sont en anglais pour l'adresse du tournement ?
00:41Les questions ?
00:47Iga, peut-être que vous analysez ce qui s'est passé dans le dernier set ?
00:50Parce que vous venez très fort dans le deuxième set et qu'est-ce que vous avez changé ?
00:56Peut-être que vous avez changé ?
00:59Oui, pour sûr, vous savez, je me souviens de deux backhands quand j'ai rencontré la première fois.
01:06Et j'ai toujours servi très bien.
01:11Je me sens que j'ai servi le même.
01:13Et j'ai reçu mon serve beaucoup mieux.
01:16Donc j'ai probablement gagné les points sur le retournement.
01:20Et je ne sais pas, je pense que j'ai perdu mon intensité un peu.
01:25Et j'ai joué très fort dans le premier set, mais je n'ai pas réagi que j'ai reçu.
01:35Et je ne sais pas, je ne sais pas.
01:37Je ne sais pas.
01:39Je ne sais pas.
01:40J'ai joué.
01:41Je ne sais pas.
01:42J'ai joué un grand match.
01:43Et comment vous pouvez dire que l'arrivée a été très difficile pour vous ?
01:48J'ai joué un petit peu plus de temps pour moi.
01:49J'ai joué un petit peu plus de temps pour moi.
01:51Je pense que j'ai joué un petit peu plus rapide.
01:54Et je, pour sûr, surtout au début de la match, il a été juste comme si possible et très risqué.
02:03Donc, c'était difficile d'aller dans une rallye, et puis j'ai réussi à faire ça.
02:10Donc, le jeu auparavant, parce qu'il n'était pas juste un serve en un shot ou un retour en un shot.
02:19Et je pouvais faire un rallye un peu.
02:22Oui, mais dans la troisième set, je me suis rendu à ce qu'il y a eu.
02:26Et je suis sûre, j'ai utilisé ses chances et je n'ai pas vraiment de faire ce qu'il y a eu.
02:35J'ai eu hâte de faire un travail aujourd'hui.
02:37Je me suis demandé où tu veux aller, tu veux aller y aller et aller y aller?
02:43Tu veux aller y aller un peu de temps avant la fin ?
02:46Qu'est-ce que tes penses pour les jours ?
02:48Pour sûr, je vais avoir quelques jours.
02:52Mais les coacheurs auront plané ça.
02:54J'espère que nous aurons une bonne pre-season sur le terrain.
02:59Parce qu'il a toujours été très difficile d'avoir ça.
03:02Surtout quand je voulais être un peu à la maison.
03:05Mais je ne suis pas à la maison maintenant.
03:07Donc, peut-être que je vais aller en Europe.
03:11Hi, Iger.
03:12Ça a été un 12 mois pour toi avec le ban.
03:17Et je pense que vous avez parlé de la pression d'avoir de defender
03:22so many points.
03:23After such an amazing spell.
03:25Kind of this time last year.
03:27Do you think, now that that's all over,
03:30that you don't have any titles to defend now for the next 12 months,
03:33are you in some way looking forward to kind of a change of mindset
03:37and more being maybe the one that's chasing,
03:41the one that's pushing the others rather than having to defend ?
03:45Will that help you change a mindset, do you think ?
03:47I think I already changed my mindset before this tournament.
03:52Losing early in Rome gave me some time and perspective,
03:55so I wasn't really thinking about points here on this tournament.
04:02Obviously, looking at the math,
04:06I lost many points right now,
04:08but I know that it doesn't really matter.
04:11any of us can win these tournaments.
04:14We kind of start every tournament from the beginning,
04:16so I'm just going to try to do my job
04:18and focus on just getting progress
04:21and learning new stuff on grass right now.
04:25Hi, Iger.
04:26When you talk about the loss of intensity in the third set,
04:29is that physical intensity
04:31or kind of mental-emotional intensity ?
04:34And is it something you're aware of in the moment ?
04:37I think it's more physical,
04:40but, you know,
04:42no, I mean,
04:44it's not like I didn't have energy,
04:46but really, like,
04:48sometimes it's about, you know,
04:50if you're going to play your shots like really
04:5310 centimeters longer or shorter, you know,
04:56so it's not like it's just me, like,
05:00playing maybe, like, really 5% faster
05:02or with more spin, you know,
05:04so it's not like a huge difference,
05:07but at this level,
05:08when you play against the top players,
05:11you're going to feel the difference,
05:13and she came on pretty strongly in third set
05:16and, like, didn't, like, just went for it,
05:19and then the set, you know, went pretty quickly,
05:23and I think, you know,
05:25I didn't have much time to, like, reset that again,
05:29like I did, like, at the beginning of the second set,
05:31you know,
05:32so, you know, I came back from, like, what,
05:364-1 or 3-1 or 3-0 in first.
05:41Yeah, doing that second time for sure would be hard,
05:44but she played, like, she didn't, like, doubt, you know,
05:48she just went for it, and yeah,
05:51that's what I mean about intensity.
05:53I was going to ask something similar,
05:55just about the adjustments you made in the first set
05:57when she started doing well, as you said,
05:59in the third set was kind of starting the same way
06:01the first set started.
06:02Were those, was she making a different adjustment
06:04that you had to find a new solution for,
06:06or had you stopped making the same adjustments
06:08that were able to stop her momentum in the first set?
06:11Well, I think in first set,
06:13you know, it was enough for me to, like,
06:16start serving better, and,
06:18and also she, you know, missed some balls,
06:22and we also played some longer rallies
06:25where I could, you know, just play rather than,
06:28you know, react to the first ball,
06:30and that's it, that's the end of the rally, you know?
06:32And in third,
06:33I feel like my serve was still working.
06:36Maybe I just did it,
06:39maybe I served with, like,
06:42maybe I should have served with more, like, creativity,
06:45rather than the same stuff that has been working in second set.
06:48Maybe I should have, like, surprised with something.
06:51But I, I don't know now, like, I would need to watch.
06:55And then I'm just curious, you've had such a long winning streak here, 26 matches,
06:58I guess how, which is very rare anyone to do at any major event.
07:01Just wondering how proud you are of, just now that that, that run has ended,
07:06how proud you are looking back of what you were able to do here for a lot of years?
07:10Yeah, I mean, I love playing here.
07:13So, for sure, I'm happy that I was fortunate enough to, like, play so many great tournaments here.
07:22And even this one, you know, I feel like I played better than weeks before.
07:27So, for sure, you know, just happy that I have this place to come back to every year and just try to push myself.
07:37Hi, Higa. Here. Hi. Sorry for you.
07:40From the beginning of the season, you didn't made it to a final.
07:44Do you think it's a question of confidence or that your opponents are getting better and better?
07:48Maybe. I don't know. Thank you.
07:50Honestly, we play for, like, six months now, so I can't answer that question because every tournament is different.
07:58Any last question?
08:01Yeah. Can you talk about the discussion with the umpire?
08:05Was that a distraction for you? Were you upset by something the umpire said during that exchange?
08:12He was coming down to check every mark when Arena wanted to, even when the outs were like that.
08:19And when I had a mark that was out, he was convincing me that I only came there because I saw that my return was out.
08:27And I framed the return. I knew from the beginning that it's going to be out, you know.
08:32And I didn't really look at the ball. I just went to check the mark, and I saw the mark was out.
08:37I wanted him to come down, but he didn't. So I don't think that was fair.
08:41Especially when he came down, like, every time Arena asked him to.
08:45I don't get it, but I don't really care.
08:48Thank you.
08:49Thank you.
08:50Thank you.
