Swiatek said that her'mistakes were so significant' against Ostapenko and that she would need to analyze her performance after her unexpected exit.

I didn't understand why I couldn't return when my mistakes were so big.

My return is good. When my game works, I focus on the same things as in the first set and overall.

I'm amazed my level changed that much because I generally play bad at the start and then catch up or problem solve.
