Iga Swiatek continue sa promenade de santé à Flushing Meadows. Très solide contre Rebecca Peterson et Daria Saville, la Polonaise n'a encore une fois pas perdu trop d'énergie. La numéro une mondiale affrontait la Slovène Kaja Juvan, 145e joueuse mondiale et amie de longue date. Face à la jeune joueuse de 22 ans qu'elle connait bien, la n°1 mondiale n'a pourtant pas été tendre. 6-0, 6-1 en cinquante minutes de jeu. Pourtant à la sortie du match, interviewée sur le terrain, la Polonaise a avoué ne pas avoir aimé la situation et elle l'a confirmé en conférence de presse d'après match.

00:00 I wasn't laughing for sure, because for sure it wasn't an easy match for her.
00:04 Emotionally as well, it's not easy to play with such a score.
00:09 But I really just wanted to focus on myself.
00:13 I think also because I knew that it's going to be a little bit harder for me to focus,
00:18 because she's my best friend, I was actually more focused than usual.
00:22 I'm happy that I could do that.
00:25 I was fully professional.
00:28 Usually on a match when something like that happens, I don't really look at that.
00:32 I did the same this time as well.
00:34 Speaking of friends, you being so close with her, you love to show friends.
00:39 That was obviously here in New York.
00:41 Do you have a favorite episode since you've been on the show?
00:44 I don't have the exact one.
00:47 I don't even have one favorite character, because it's impossible to choose.
00:52 When I first watched, my favorite character was Phoebe, then it was Monica.
00:56 I'm not sure even now.
00:58 But I love the show.
01:01 And Kaya loves it as well. We used to watch it together.
01:05 Honestly, I feel like he embraced everything.
01:08 When he was on tour, from his perspective, it was mainly fun.
01:16 I also heard from other people that even 30 minutes before a final, he could chat and be relaxed.
01:23 He's that kind of guy. I think there's something we can learn from that.
01:28 But for sure, I'm a little bit different person.
01:30 I need to stay in the zone, in the bubble, and be focused.
01:33 It was nice to hear about the other perspective.
01:38 It's tough for him to give advice in such a short talk.
01:45 Especially when we don't see each other every day on tour.
01:49 When he finished, I just started.
01:51 But I'm really happy that I had the opportunity to talk to him a little bit more.
01:55 And to see how he approaches some stuff.
02:00 For sure, he was pretty open to tell me that.
