The best grand slam tournament performed by Magda Linette (45th WTA) has come to an end. The Polish woman fought ambitiously in the semi-final against Aryna Sabalenka, but in the end she had to recognize the superiority of her rival and lost 6:7(1-7), 2:6. The Belarusian thus extended a great streak of winning sets in a row and advanced to the first grand slam final in her career.
Linette appreciated by her rival after the AO semi-final. “She is an amazing tennis player”
Linette in the first part was an equal rival for the favorite of the event. She presented a high level and kept up with the higher-ranked Belarusian. Sabalenka did not hide her appreciation for the game of the Polish player and expressed it in the first post-match statement. The interviewer asked her how she felt, to which Sabalenka fired. “I’m happy that I won this match. She is an amazing tennis player. She played great tennis – she complimented her rival, talking about Linette.
Only later did she refer to her own attitude. – I’m very happy at the moment. I didn’t start the match well and until the tie-break I was looking for a rhythm. I started to trust myself and throw better and better punches – she said.
