What have the players said about each other before the final?
Swiatek: “Well, I haven’t followed her previous matches. Today I followed because I was playing after. I didn’t watch, though. For sure, she must be playing great. She also had great tournament before Wimbledon. She knows how to play on grass. With her game style, the surface fits her. So it’s going to be a challenge. Yeah, I haven’t watched a lot, so I’m going to just prepare tactically tomorrow, and that’s it.”
On Anisimova’s comeback after a break for burnout and mental health: “Anybody who struggles and gets back at better level deserves a lot of respect. For sure Amanda is one of these players that kept going forwards in tough situations. I always wished her the best. We know each other since juniors. Yeah, good job for her.”
Anisimova: “Iga is such an unbelievable player. She’s also been an inspiration to me. Her work ethic and all of her achievements have been really inspiring. I’m sure it will be an amazing match again. Yeah, getting to compete against an unbelievable player again is going to be super special. Hopefully I can bring some high-quality tennis and make it a battle out there. I’m just going to go out and enjoy every moment and try to not think about what’s on the line there.”
On playing Swiatek in Junior Fed Cup: “Yeah, I used to enjoy those Fed Cup trips a lot. We had a lot of fun on those trips. But yeah, she was playing very well. She was a great junior. I remember a lot of coaches were saying that she’s going to be a big deal one day. Yeah, obviously they were right. But yeah, she was playing some great tennis. I did lose that match, unfortunately. But, yeah, it was fun to play in juniors.”
