Wywiad po półfinale Stuttgartu 2018

Vandeweghe 'swipes left' on clay despite Stuttgart success

Spoiler:

It’s no surprise that CoCo Vandeweghe’s relationship to red clay is a bit complicated. When asked to describe it in Tinder terms, the 26-year-old American bluntly said, “Swipe left, turn down, no number.”

But through to the final at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart in a run that included a straight-sets quarterfinal stunner over World No.1 Simona Halep - a two-time French Open finalist - Vandeweghe is starting to rethink her stance.

“Maybe I’ll get a coffee with [the clay]!” she laughed after her semifinal win over Caroline Garcia. “I won’t give them a full dinner date, but they have to buy me a coffee at least. I’m not paying for my own coffee!”

Vandeweghe notched a clean win over US Open champion Sloane Stephens in her Stuttgart opener, dropping just one game across two quick sets, and then backed it up by knocking out defending champion Laura Siegemund in front of her home crowd.


While other players make a top-to-bottom change in their game when they make the switch from hardcourt to clay - Elina Svitolina says, “I have to break everything into small pieces” - Vandeweghe goes about it rather the opposite way. Instead of getting caught up in the intricacies of the surface, she readjusts her competitive mentality and hopes her game will follow suit.

“There’s always little minute things you can control no matter what… And two big things for me is your competitive drive and your attitude,” she said. “You can have tennis be that escape of enjoyment, and take pride in what I’m doing. I’m very proud when I’m competing hard and showing determination and showing how much I care about what I’m doing.”

“I just try best out there and compete hard. That is something I can control day in and day out.”

Vandeweghe’s infamous aversion to clay dates back to her days as a Junior player: too promising on the hardcourts and with the USTA Under-18s Hardcourt Nationals being held nearby in California, her coaches never let her compete on clay in favor of focusing on the hardcourts. It earned her a Junior US Open crown - and later, two WTA titles at the Grass Court Championships in ‘s-Hertogenbosch - but as a result Vandeweghe never played on the surface until she was 16.



“I was never an academy kid. I grew up basically playing at parks, playing in kids’ clinics. My mom couldn’t afford lessons - she was a single parent - so I was just like, whatever I could find, I did.

“So for me, the first time I actually had to play was Junior Fed Cup at 16. The USTA coach that we had was Richard Ashby, and so to help us slide and things like that - or well, mainly for me because the other two girls grew up in Florida and they grew up around clay - he was like, “Okay, slide into the ball when you’re picking up the balls after practice.” And I slid in, stuck my toe, tumbled, and the two other girls were laughing at me. And I was like, “I can’t play on this!”

After accidentally missing the entry deadline and needing a wildcard to get into Stuttgart, Vandeweghe found her clay season extended by an additional week after her agent inadvertently entered her into the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome - a tournament she normally skips over in favor of a trip home to the States. Adding her Stuttgart doubles commitment to good friend Bethanie Mattek-Sands - with whom she reached the quarterfinals - into the equation, Vandeweghe has already clocked more time on clay than she bargained for.

“Well, I’m stuck out here for a longer while than I intended to be,” she explained. “So, it’s more finding the pocket of when I can go home. That’s what my light at the end of the tunnel is…

“These tournaments outside of the Grand Slams, no matter what level, I’m working on something to make sure that I’m capable of having the best results during the Grand Slams, and Fed Cup as well, for me. Those two, Grand Slams and Fed Cup, are the most important things for me.

“And I compete hard out here to try to get my footing and find some rhythm to my tennis, because it’s nice to be finally playing consistently, where at the start of the year I really wasn’t. My schedule was very light just because I wasn’t healthy yet. So it’s nice to just be playing and competing.”

But even after earning three Top 10 wins in the same tournament for the first time in her career and with her fearsome serve clicking once more - she didn’t face a break point against Garcia, and Halep couldn’t break her serve - she’s still only got one strategy on clay:

“Pretty much I’m just surviving. It’s not rocket science for me. [Playing on clay] is like pulling teeth, but yeah. Slowly but surely I’m gaining confidence. But we can’t jump from 1 to 100 yet.”

Vandeweghe will meet No.5 seed Karolina Pliskova in Sunday’s Porsche Tennis Grand Prix final in Stuttgart.

Tenis. Coco Vandeweghe zagra w US Open. "Muszę zarobić trochę pieniędzy"

Spoiler:

Muszę zarobić trochę pieniędzy, więc zagram w US Open. Nie sądzę, żebym była w stanie odmówić - powiedziała Coco Vandeweghe. Amerykanka w Nowym Jorku osiągnęła półfinał w singlu w 2017 i zdobyła tytuł w deblu w 2018 roku.

Wiele tenisistek wyraża obawy odnośnie ich gry w US Open (31 sierpnia - 13 września). Powodem jest niepewna sytuacja związana z pandemią koronawirusa. Z gry w Nowym Jorku mogą zrezygnować Rumunka Simona Halep, Ukrainka Elina Switolina, Holenderka Kiki Bertens, Niemka Andżelika Kerber czy Łotyszka Jelena Ostapenko.
Tytułu zamierza bronić Kanadyjka Bianca Andreescu. W US Open chce też zagrać Coco Vandeweghe, deblowa mistrzyni imprezy z 2018 i półfinalistka w singlu z 2017 roku. - Muszę zarobić trochę pieniędzy, więc wystąpię w Nowym Jorku. Nie sądzę, żebym była w stanie odmówić - cytuje Amerykankę portal sportsfinding.com.

W singlu Vandeweghe zdobyła dwa tytuły w głównym cyklu, oba w Den Bosch (2014, 2016). W wielkoszlemowych imprezach doszła do dwóch półfinałów, w Australian Open i US Open 2017. Dwa razy awansowała do ćwierćfinału Wimbledonu (2015, 2017). W rankingu najwyżej znalazła się na dziewiątym miejscu.

Końcówka 2018 roku miała dla Amerykanki słodko-gorzki smak. Wygrała US Open w deblu razem z Ashleigh Barty, ale kilka tygodni wcześniej w Cincinnati doznała kontuzji kostki, z którą później zmagała się przez długie miesiące. W Nowym Jorku w singlu odpadła wtedy w I rundzie. W ubiegłym sezonie grała tylko latem w USA. Aktualnie klasyfikowana jest na 198. pozycji.
Obecnie Vandeweghe uczestniczy w ligowych rozgrywkach World TeamTennis. Jest to dla niej sposób na przygotowanie się do wznowienia WTA Tour. - Jest to bardziej pokazowa impreza i dzięki temu mamy do czynienia z łatwiejszym, przyjaźniejszym środowiskiem, co pomaga przystosować się do powrotu do gry na szczeblu WTA - skomentowała.

Vondrousova gets her groove back after horror year

Important Announcement


12 February 2021
Vondrousova gets her groove back after horror year
Author Dan Imhoff
A dazzling run to a maiden Grand Slam final was meant to be the launchpad to bigger and better for then-teenage Marketa Vondrousova.

The self-effacing Czech under the sharp-pitched visor had just been humbled in the Roland Garros decider in June, 2019.

A first-time major champion was assured and on that blustery Paris afternoon, it was to be the more experienced Ash Barty’s moment.

"It’s gonna be strange, because I’m going to be seeded at Grand Slams," Vondrousova beamed at the time. "A lot of things are gonna change now, but I just can't wait to get back home and see what's gonna happen."

Unfortunately for the Czech there was plenty about to change in the ensuing 18 months, trials that would test any athlete’s resolve.

On Friday, the now 21-year-old reached the second week at a major for the first time since her watershed moment on the red clay in Paris with a 6-2 6-4 victory over Sorana Cirstea at the Australian Open.

It has been a testing stretch between the two runs.

Defeat at Wimbledon a month after her breakthrough Roland Garros in 2019 ended up Vondrousova’s last match of the season.

A left wrist injury suffered during that defeat required surgery and she missed the remainder of the season.

"I'm just the type that needs matches and I didn't have a lot of them last year."

“I started here in Australia last year after the surgery and I played just a few matches and I lost in the first round here, also the first round in Doha, then second round in Dubai,” Vondrousova said on Friday. “And then the pandemic happened, so I didn't play very [many] matches.

“We had some matches in Czech Republic, but it's not the same. We started to play tournaments again and I lost a few first rounds ... Then I was struggling a bit.

“Last year was very tough I think for all of us. I'm just the type that needs matches and I didn't have a lot of them last year.”

If surgery, a pandemic and an uphill battle to rediscover form were not enough to juggle, Vondrousova decided it was time to shake things up in the coaching department.

Having previously worked under Czech pair Jiri Hrebec and Jan Hernych, she made the switch to another Czech, Libor Salaba.

“He's pretty young, he's like 28 or 29, so we know each other for four years. I know him pretty well and I knew it can work for me here.

"Also we understand each other, off court and on court … Of course it's nice for me to have this back-up that I'm playing good and I can see like it's working pretty well.”

Marketa Vondrousova is a Czech on the rise again
Should she stamp her ticket to a second Grand Slam quarterfinal, the Czech will need to avenge a defeat to the crafty Hsieh Su-Wei.

The 35-year-old from Chinese Taipei prevailed in a third-set tie-break in their opening match of the season in Abu Dhabi.

Vondrousova said she had learnt from that defeat, just as she had grown from her experiences in a challenging 20-month period.

“It's not so new for me this,” she said.

“I can say, ‘OK, you did this before, you played fourth round, you played third round. I have some experience so it's nice feeling.”
