Roland-Garros 2026 women’s singles draw<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cI feel like the clay season this year, it’s been a little bit hard to judge for me,\u201d the world No.16 said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt like I was playing well in Madrid, but then obviously I played [Aryna] Sabalenka and I lost there [6-7(1), 6-3, 6-2]. I felt like I had my chances, which was a good takeaway.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen we went into Rome\u2026 I thought I played my first two matches really well, and then Iga (Swiatek) said, \u2018Hell, no!\u2019 She slapped me in the ground. That was a little crazy.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, that blew my confidence a lot, but I just had to step away, knowing that she’s the best clay court player, and I still have a lot to learn. The score was wild (6-2, 6-1), but it was a little bit closer, there was a lot of deuce games or whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The former world No.1 ramped up her preparations for Roland-Garros with a last-16 spot in WTA 1000 events…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":660978,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-660977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/660977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=660977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/660977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/660978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=660977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=660977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=660977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
