“I feel emotionally that all my performances are somehow similar and quite good. I would say that I keep a good level. Even though I got to the fourth round earlier, it occurred to me that I had one match worse, but now it seems to me that I’m going the same way, “said Plíšková.
The basis is a good service, which Plíšková lost only twice. She may have given only 22 aces, but more importantly, she gets easy fifties by serving. In the third round of the match with compatriot Tereza Martincová, whom she defeated twice 6: 3, she also used this match. “I have a lot of points from the service. I served the first and second set in peace. The service largely wins my matches,” she said.

She also recorded nine double mistakes against Martincová, stemming from the greater risk. He doesn’t want to just play an exchange on the grass. “And wait for what will happen. It doesn’t make sense. I definitely go to the second service more here, then I put pressure on my opponent,” said Plíšková.

She also gave one ace from the second service. She had to repeat the second administration three times due to a leak on the tape. “This amused me. When I give the first thing, I take it as a warning. When it happened the second time, I thought I had to put it over. I went in and gave an ace,” she said with a smile.
As in the second round, she often had a good mood. Before Wimbledon, she did not win a single match on the grass. “I’m the type who needs a few victories and well-being. When I get into it, it doesn’t matter what the previous part of the year was like. I haven’t forgotten about tennis. I just have to sit down. I’m doing my best and I have a clear conscience,” she assured.

Before the season, she hired German coach Sascha Bajin and is extremely satisfied with the cooperation. “I hope it lasts for us that nothing goes wrong, because I feel that even though I didn’t play the best at the beginning of the year, it somehow works for us on and off the court,” she said.
She feels that, among other things, former Japanese coach Naomi Osaka is passing on positive thinking to her. “He believes in me, even though we’ve had a few stupid tournaments, defeats and training sessions and sometimes I’m upset or negative, that’s just the way it is. He’s never upset or negative, maybe sad, but he gives it everything, he gives it a heart, which is for me the most important thing at the moment, “said Plíšková.
