Magda Linette proud of her sensational Australian Open run It was my 30th attempt. Magda Linette did not manage to reach the Australian Open final but admitted that just reaching her first Grand Slam semifinal at the age of 30 was” truly satisfying” for all of her hard work and trouble. On Thursday, Linette’s sensational Australian Open run ended in the semifinal with a 7- 6( 1) 6- 2 defeat to Aryan Sabalenka.
Before the Australian Open, Linette had no way made it past the third round of a Grand Slam.” I still do not know how I am going to perhaps realize what just happed in like a week or two. But it’s really been so satisfying for all the hard work that we have done, for all the offerings, all these times on stint, so numerous Grand Slams.
It was my 30th attempt. It’s really satisfying because I really demanded further than a couple tries,” Linette said, per the Australian Open website.
Linette dissatisfied she did not convert her chances against Sabalenka
Linette broke Sabalenka to love in the truly first game of the match.
Unfortunately for Linette, she did not manage to hold on to her serve the rest of the set as Sabalenka broke back in the fourth game and the set ultimately went into a tie- break. After Sabalenka dominated the first- set tie- break, Linette’s game collapsed as the Belarusian broke the Pole doubly in the alternate set to complete a two- set palm.
” It’s tough when you feel like you had a little bit of a lead in the first set Of course it does not mean I would win. It’s always nice if you can lead and have one break to still win a set. I am surely going to suppose a little bit about it but I did not feel I did too much wrong.
She played really well. I allowed the position was truly high of this match. I am just proud that I could keep the position for so long and still come out tonight on such a big occasion and feel I belong also, and I still played my tennis,” Linette reflected.
an route to reaching the Australian Open semifinal, Linette defeated several big names similar as Caroline Garcia, Karolina Pliskova and Annett Kontaveit.
