"For sure I felt lighter.

I'm sorry - that's disgusting."Swiatek also said the break had helped her analyse the flaws in her first set performance."I tried to use that time to think about what to change because I remember when I was younger all I would do in the bathroom between sets after I lost was cry."But this time I could think about what to change and actually problem solve."We have a Top-5 matchup for the women's title!

She later appeared at a press conference with mirrored sunglasses on and a baseball cap pulled over her face.It was the third time Sabalenka has fallen short in the semi-finals of a Grand Slam."My team keeps telling me that I have to be proud of
