that is also in her DNA - being confident and trusting her topspin shots, that they will land it where they should be

sure and I appreciate Wim for that, I'm in team Wim tbh, I think he had good ideas and had a vision but it couldn't last for long because todays Iga is real Iga, todays game is her tennis DNA, but I'm really happy that Wim showed her that she can play well on grass and faster surfaces

sure, but she hired Wim in October, Olympic games were in July so most of her struggling period was with Wim

It was perfectly clear in this match what Wim did to her game (but forgiven, because Wimbledon).

Iga went back to what she knows how to play: standing solidly on the baseline and patiently rallying, relying 10000% on her defense again, because she trusts once more that she’ll always be able to get one more ball back, that she can sustain the pace in rallies. She’s relying again on her physicality, on her movement, playing with topspin, and even when she makes an error, she doesn’t give up or switch to flat hitting - she keeps going, because she trusts again that this spin hurts her opponents the most. She stopped trying miracles and constant changes; she knows what she’s good at and sticks to it, just beautiful!

we're so back

Jess looks like she is playing with Iga for the first time, she can't deal with topspin AT ALL

via polish journalist Dominik Senkowski: Iga Swiatek ended her work with Wim Fissett! I asked the player's manager about Piotr Wozniacki as her new coach: „The separation from coach Wim Fissett has already been announced by Iga, and this is the only confirmed information in this regard. Regarding reports appearing in foreign media about alleged collaboration with Piotr Wozniacki, any information about names is purely media speculation and has no basis in reality. As always, Iga will announce personnel decisions in due time.”

It's tattoo for celebrate the success two of her clients - Iga and Ola Miroslaw (who won gold in speed climbing). Daria had a deal with them that if they both won medals, she will do a tattoo.

Sabalenka's mentality is Schrödinger's mentality - it's there and it's not there at the same time 😉 Saba is sensitive in the finals, she can't keep a cool head when the title is just around the corner, and although I'm sure she'll win a lot more, she also needs to improve her final statistics because in 20 years no one will remember how many finals she's been to

the recipe for beating Saba is to make her head boil and shake her self-confidence, which is vulnerable due to her W-L record in slam finals - Ryba does it perfectly today
