Šwiateková stopped Pliskova at Wimbledon
The Pole was beyond her strength, the Czech admitted problems with her body at her fiftieth Grand Slam.
Karolína Plíšková faced a tough lesson in the second round of Wimbledon, where she was outclassed by Polish world number one Iga Šwiateková in a matter of hours. The match ended in a debacle 6:1 and 6:3 and confirmed the current form imbalance between the two players. Šwiateková performed a performance full of dominance on the grass, which left the Czech tennis player virtually no room for game variations.
The first set ran away from the Poles at a fast pace, and in the second Plíšková could no longer find a recipe for the aggressive game of her opponent, who controls the court from the baseline. Let's not look for an absence of effort in defeat. After the match, Pliskova openly admitted that even though her mental attitude and motivation remain at a high level, physical limits become unmistakable as she gets older.
