Keith's egg delivery was reversed to claim the semi-finals, and how many times did Swiatek swallow the egg on clay?

Although Keys was blocked out of the semi-finals of Madrid by Swiatek, the American star unexpectedly won a title: the semi-finals of Madrid, which means that she is still honorable despite defeat!

Before this focus battle began, when the outside world was hotly discussing the duel between Swiatek and Case, there was only one question: Will the Polish girl get a sweet revenge, or will the American star slap the odds of the bookmaker?

After the two successfully met in the quarterfinals, the bookmaker offered Swiatek and Keys odds of 1 to 1.33 and 1 to 3.4 respectively, which is equivalent to directly announcing that it is extremely difficult for Keyes to win Swiatek twice in a row, and the probability of more than 90% is to be revenged.

But after seeing Keyes beat Swiatek 6-0 in the first set, someone in the live broadcast room immediately bluntly said that Miss Key must not be convinced that she had been sentenced to lose without fighting, which was a slap in the face of the bookmaker, and at the same time speculated that Keys was very likely to sweep Swiatek in two sets.

However, from the second set, after Swiatek made adjustments to leave the court, he quickly changed the situation on the court and took over the control of the game directly from the American star.

At that time, after seeing Swiatek come to the commanding height of the set 5-1 in the second set and usher in the service game, some people ridiculed that the Polish girl and the American star were playing a pure friendly match, you give me a duck egg, I must return you a doughnut, how embarrassing it is not to exchange gifts like this.

It's just that no one expected that at such a critical moment, Keys withstood the huge pressure and avoided such embarrassment on himself, and after breaking Swiatek's serve to win the set, he immediately held serve. Even though the Polish won the second set 6-3, everyone praised Keys for thwarting Swiatek's attempt to send churros to herself, and some even threatened that the deciding set would be the most suspenseful contest of the whole match.

Unfortunately, after Keys took a 2-1 lead in the deciding set, Swiatek won five games in a row, completely turning what the outside world thought was a suspenseful contest into a solo exhibition match, and finally sealed the victory 6-2 to end the game, officially announcing a strong reversal of Keys and achieving sweet revenge for the loss at the Australian Open at the beginning of the year.

The defeat at the Australian Open was still quite a blow to Swiatek, and it was because of Case's big heart and strong counterattack at the critical moment that Swiatek missed the opportunity to reach the Australian Open final for the first time, and thus made the Polish girl lose the world No. 1. Now in Madrid with a comeback win over Keith, the win really boosted the Polish girl's morale.

Although Swiatek reversed Keith in this way and won really domineering, for Case's defeat, fans and netizens still gave the applause of Swiatek to the American star, and called her the top four of Madrid, although she was still honored. For one reason, she gave Swiatek a duck egg in a very rare way.

It has always been Swiatek's exclusive privilege to give eggs to others, and it is even more difficult for anyone who wants to give eggs to Polish girls, especially on clay, but Keith has done it.

Actually, it's not that Swiatek didn't swallow eggs on clay, as this has happened to Polish girls before.

The last time a Polish girl swallowed an egg on clay was at the 2019 French Open. At that time, Swiatek, who had just debuted not long ago, played against the defending champion Halep in the quarterfinals of the French Open, and the loss was really crunchy, and he directly received the fritters and duck eggs and left the court.

Swiatek was only 18 years old at the time, and he looked very jerky in every way, and it was normal for Halep to be given such a complete defeat by Halep, who was at his peak. But Swiatek hasn't swallowed an egg on clay since, and six years later, Keith did it again.

When Swiatek was asked in a post-match interview what it was like to swallow eggs in the first set, the Polish girl also looked very embarrassed, bluntly admitting that she also felt strange and surprised.

Looking back on the first set now, Keyes gave Swiatek a duck egg, not because the American star played well and was in extreme shape, but because the Polish girl did not enter the state for a long time, and as long as the attack made mistakes, the famous game of swallowing eggs was born in Madrid.

From the second set, when Swiatek got into the groove and kept playing normally, everyone saw the familiar clay queen return, and then Keys fell into passivity, losing and finally coming back strongly.(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
