Iga Swiatek admitted that she "felt no control" after being knocked out of the US Open on the final 16 to Latvia's Jelena Ostapenko. Her hard-hitting opponent ended the 22-year-old's title defence because the Polish star was pressured right into a flurry of errors on Sunday night.

Ostapenko seems to be an Achilles heel for the earlier 12 months's champion, having received all 4 of their conferences and as soon as once more claimed a 3-6 6-3 6-1 to arrange a next-round conflict with house star Coco Gauff in New York.

After being dominated within the closing two units, Swiatek admitted that she struggled to take care of her opponent and was unable to pinpoint the precise purpose why she retains getting overwhelmed by the twentieth seed.

"She plays well against me. I mean, I don't have any comparison because she always did that," mentioned Swiatek. "But I'm just surprised that my level changed so drastically because usually when I play bad, I play bad at the beginning, then I kind of catch up or just problem solve. This time it was totally the opposite.

"I do not actually know what occurred with my sport," Swiatek said. "I felt no management all of the sudden. I simply have to observe and see 'trigger, yeah, I did not actually know why I began making so many errors."
