IGA SWIATEK: So basically during the second set, at the end in the tiebreaker, I felt pain in my right thigh. It was, like, pretty sudden. At the beginning I didn't really know if it was serious or not.
We did an examination with the physio afterwards. It shouldn't be anything serious, so I'm pretty positive that I'll be back soon.
For sure I feel tired. Yesterday I think it was the right decision to stop playing because I felt pain when I was stretching, when I did, like, harder movements.
For me, the most important thing is to kind of play it safe and not exploit my body so much in such a difficult conditions, after having to play few matches in night session and after midnight.
I wouldn't say that anything changed at the end of the second set. For sure I lost my serve. I wasn't able to hold it to win the set. But also I served with old balls. I know what mistakes I did. There weren't, like, huge mistakes, but it was enough for me to lose the game.
Yeah, I felt little bit more pressure then, but I was able to kind of recover quickly. I had many chances on Elena's serve later, but she really kind of fought back with great first serves.
To be ready for Roland Garros I need to recover right now. I'm going to take couple of days off. With my quarterfinal loss, I have also time to then practice right before the tournament. I'm happy right now to have few days off because since Stuttgart I wasn't really able to recover with that tight schedule that we have on WTA.
