Soccer games live Pliskova on her defeat to Linette: With some opponents the court seems big, you have many points where you can score. This was not the case against her.
Karolina Pliskova commented on the defeat from Magda Linett in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open - 3:6, 5:7.
- Of course, I`m very disappointed with the result. I think I played very well for two weeks. Even today it wasn`t all that bad. But she made my life very difficult.
She played very well on the back line. I couldn`t find space on the court to score a clear shot. It wasn`t served well at all.
- Don`t know. Sometimes there are days like this. The last two weeks I have served very well in almost all matches. But, probably, there are days like this.
The opponent also influences this, because she received many even very good serves. It adds pressure, makes you play more aggressively, and you make mistakes.
It was very difficult for me with her. She made almost no mistakes, she didn`t give anything away for nothing. And I didn`t have a very great match. Not bad, but I can definitely do better.
"She covers the court very well, and it seemed to me that I had to play more and more aggressively. And in the end I made too many mistakes.
With some opponents the court seems big and you have a lot of spots to score on. This was not the case against her. She covers crosses well, and when I crossed the line, she shot it obliquely and short. Tactically, it was difficult for me to play like in previous matches.
Of course, she is in great shape now. And she has nothing to lose - especially in important moments. There were break points on her serve, which she handled very well. I was almost never wrong. You have to give her credit.
I can definitely play better. This was far from my best moment. But sometimes you play the way your opponent allows you to.
