150 minutes of combat. This was how long the match lasted after an incredibly tight match for the quarter-finals of the WTA 500 tournament in Dubai (6: 4, 1: 6, 6: 7). – The fans here are really nice, but the Poles were not quite right for me – the Latvian fired after the game with Świątki.

Then she immediately added: “This is not a soccer game to clap when someone makes a double mistake.” In this case me, because when she [Świątek] she made double mistakes, no one applauded. People knew how to behave, but there were those who did not behave as they should.
“I really wanted to win this game”
The reporter pressed Ostapenko and asked if this type of behavior was driving her to better results. – Yes, it motivates. I really wanted to win this game, but I think that fans on a tennis court should behave like on a tennis court, not at a football match – repeated Ostapenko.
Ostapenko and Świątek met in Dubai for the third time. The Polish woman does not mention these matches very well, because in the previous two games she did not even win a set, and in total she won only nine games. First, in 2019, on grass courts in Birmingham, she lost 0: 6, 2: 6, and a year ago on hard courts in Indian Wells 4: 6, 3: 6.
Ostapenko in Dubai dealt not only with Świątek, because in the quarter-finals after another thriller – lasting almost three hours – she defeated Petra Kvitova from Czech Republic (5: 7, 7: 5, 7: 6). He will fight for the final of the tournament with Romanian Simona Halep. The match starts on Friday at 2 p.m.
