After the stockings battle, he regarded himself as a challenger, and Saba didn't talk about competition and talked about how to become friends from not caring with each other

After Swiatek and Sabalenka met in the semi-finals of the French Open, many people spoke directly about the upcoming matchup: this is a match that is acceptable to anyone who wins.

When the draw first came out, many people were not optimistic that Swiatek and Sabalenka would meet in the semi-finals.

The reason is very simple, in addition to the average performance in the clay warm-up tournament, it is also related to Swiatek's desireless Buddhist mentality after coming to the French Open. Some people even bluntly said that Swiatek has no ambition to compete for the championship, what is the difference between this and a soldier who does not want to be a general can only be an ordinary soldier.

In fact, many people say that it is understandable that Swiatek has no expectations for this year's French Open, because the original state has fluctuated greatly, and he is in the same half as Ostapenko, who has never won before.

Perhaps it is precisely because Swiatek has put her mentality to an all-time low this year that her fate has quietly changed subtly.

Especially after Rybakina defeated Ostapenko and solved the big problem for Swiatek, everything immediately turned completely different.

In the match against Rybakina, many people said that it seemed to make people see the return of the hard-working clay queen from last year. Even if he lost the first set by swallowing fritters, he could quickly relieve this embarrassment, and after the Jedi rebounded and launched a counterattack, it became a logical thing to succeed in the end.

Against Svitolina, who is tough and has an excellent baseline, the victory over Rybakina gave Swiatek a confidence boost that was simply geometric. That's why Svitolina did almost everything she could, even in the second set, and still struggled to shake the clay queen in the end.

After advancing to the semi-finals of the French Open, in the eyes of the outside world, she only needs to win two more matches to declare a successful defense, and then lift the fifth French Open crown, further demonstrating the greatness of Roland Garros, and it is completely possible to talk about dreams and ambitions at the moment, but when it comes to the semi-final against Sabalenka, the Polish girl does not look up proudly, but still puts her posture low.

"The two of us haven't played each other in a Grand Slam for several years, Sabalenka is at the peak of her career, and I've had a bit of a bit of a dip in form this year, but I'm going to give it my all and I'm going to challenge Sabalenka and I think it's going to be a good match." Seeing Swiatek as a challenger makes it seem like she's not confident about beating Sabalenka, but for some, the Polish girl's statement is a sign of high emotional intelligence. Don't talk too much, don't shout high slogans, and finally use the results to speak, but can make this duel full of infinite charm, so that more and more people are fascinated and interested in it.

Of course, Swiatek faced Sabalenka with this rare mentality, and she also highlighted that the fact that the world number one was able to beat the in-form Zheng Qinwen in two sets shows that her current hand and form are hot, "It's a new challenge for me." In this way, everyone can understand why Swiatek is so cautious.

American tennis legend Roddick was also not optimistic that Swiatek would advance when predicting this key match, and gave the conclusion that he would stop in the semi-finals.

In contrast to Swiatek's caution when talking about the big battle, which gave people a sense of tension, Sabalenka was very relaxed in an interview.

The world's No. 1 pair of the much-anticipated focus of the battle, did not make large-scale remarks like against Zheng Qinwen, but only talked about friendship, revealing how she and Swiatek have become friends from ignoring each other before.

"Before, we didn't train and we didn't communicate, but now things have improved and we're getting along better and we're good friends." When Sabalenka was asked about her rivalry with Swiatek in an interview, the world No. 1 did not look forward to what the match would look like, but unexpectedly revealed how she and Swiatek went from zero communication and zero interaction to friends who now talk about everything, and frankly admitted that getting to know each other has helped a lot.

Of course, the current queen also stressed that she and Swiatek have played very closely every time they have played before, and I believe this time will be no exception, because the Polish girl is also getting better and better.

Although Swiatek and Sabalenka can only enter the final in the end, judging from the current public opinion reaction, many people don't seem to care about the result, bluntly saying that the Australian Open at the beginning of the year missed the Grand Slam meeting due to Case's turmoil, and this time in the French Open to make up for this regret, it is a great comfort for everyone, "There is nothing else to ask for, just watch the game with a calm mind!" ”(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
