A tough battle and a big comeback – Iga Świątek in the 3rd round of Wimbledon

Świątek, seeded eighth, had to work hard to advance to the third round of Wimbledon. On Thursday she beat American Caty McNally 5:7, 6:2, 6:1, although the start of the match did not promise an easy victory.

A difficult start and a quick response

The match started promisingly for the Pole – she quickly took a 4:1 lead. However, McNally, who has known Iga since their junior days, took advantage of the leader’s moment of weakness, closed the gap and won the first set 7:5. Świątek made quite a few unforced errors, while the American played boldly, often moving to the net and changing the rhythm of the rallies.

Break and domination in the following sets

The second and third sets were a display of Świątek’s strength and determination. The Pole increased her aggression, improved the precision of her shots and began to dictate the terms of play. McNally could no longer keep up the pace – Iga won the next sets 6:2 and 6:1, finishing the match with a serve ace.

“I knew I had to be more accurate from the start of the second set. I simply tried to improve my game and I’m glad it worked,” Świątek summed up the match.

In the third round, Iga Świątek will face another American – Danielle Collins.

Another challenge awaits Iga. The match with Danielle Collins promises to be extremely exciting – the American is a top-level rival, and their head-to-head history is even.
