There is nobody like Rafael Nadal on women's side - Pliskova
In a press conference in Rome, Karolina Pliskova commented on the balance in women's tennis. The Czech player said: "I just feel like the tennis is moving a little bit in this direction. Who is more aggressive, not always of course, but is doing a lot of the points, a lot of tournaments. As I said, I think I don't feel like this clay court tournament would be the slowest. I think there is still a possibility for slower clay that is here. I think it can be pretty fast. Look, I've been hitting more than 10 aces every match. Sometimes I don't hit this even on hard court. I think there is a possibility for us to play good tennis also on clay. You can see also Maria Sharapova, she won, big hitter, Paris two times. There is a chance. Sometimes also is tough to defend. There is nobody really like Rafa in the girls who would be playing this style of game on the clay. I think there is Simona, she's the best the way she moves on the clay. I think everybody right now is beatable."
On the crowd support during the Pliskova-Victoria Azarenka match, Pliskova added: "I didn't feel like they are against me. Actually, I felt she was taking too much time. I thought the people started to cheer more for me. I don't know where you were (smiling). I felt the people are more on my side. If not, it was 50/50. I didn't have any trouble with the crowd here."
