Jelena Ostapenko will now face Iga Swiatek in the US Open’sĀ round of 16.
Iga Swiatek comes after a confident win
Iga Swiatek will enter the Ostapenko duel in high spirits since she knocked it out of the park in her last match against her good friend Kaja Juvan. In just 39 minutes, Swiatek managed to grab a 6-0, 6-1 victory.Ā “She was really killing me at some points,” Juvan said after theĀ 6-0, 6-1 loss. “You can either cry or laugh and I went for the laughing part. I thought it was just a nice moment to take it with a little bit of humor and I think the people felt it too. Of course it’s not how I want it to be, I don’t want to be fighting for one game only in a match. But it’s the way you can enjoy the big stadiums and enjoy the crowd a little bit.” On the other side, Swiatek felt that she could focus very well during the match against Juvan. “But I really just wanted to focus on myself and I think also because I knew that it’s going to be a little bit harder for me to focus because she’s my best friend, I was actually more focused than usual,” Swiatek said. “I’m happy that I could do that and I was fully professional.” This was Iga Swiatek’s second 6-0, 6-1 win in the tournament after she crushed Rebecca Peterson with the same score in the first round.
