In the third round of the Wimbledon women’s singles, Swatek swallowed an invisible egg in the second set against Kone, who was 11 years older than him, and finally lost two sets in a row 4-6/2-6, not only missed the women’s singles 16 Strong, and the WTA Tour women’s singles 37-game winning streak ended. Swatek, who made 33 unforced errors in the game, said after the loss that he had a hunch before the game that his winning streak might end at any time.
Swatek said: “Usually I’m hard on myself. At Wimbledon, I know how I feel before the game, I know how I feel in training. I don’t feel like I’m at my best. So I’m kind of aware of it. It can happen, maybe it’s not the right attitude, but it’s what it is.”
Swatek continued: “I tried a lot of things to feel better on the field, on grass, but it didn’t really work. That’s why I decided to let myself go and stop being so hard on myself for now. Because I can’t find anything that works in training, so I can’t find it in competition, that’s the logic.” (Amber)
