Julia Görges had to answer many questions after her semifinal debut at Wimbledon. Among other things, after the surgical mask that she wears on the spot. It was a kind of dental orthosis, she told reporters. "I always bite my teeth while beating, it does not make jaw," replied Görges, visibly amused by the question. The newspaper Bild quickly made the title "Jules bissiges secret".
If there are such notes in the head of a big tabloid, then in German tennis it actually takes something new to have happened. In this case, two players qualified for the semi-finals of the world's most famous turf tournament – and were able to play the first German women's final since 1931.
Rising Görges – Wimbledon semifinal
Unlike Angelique Kerber, the former world number one and finalist at Church Road, Görges' entry into the top four was unlikely. The 29-year-old woman had to explain to international media representatives at Wimbledon, where she had remained all the time since 2011, when she became the international star with the victory of the tournament in Stuttgart, against the world's number one player. Carolina Stroznacki. Görges once again told the story of his successful recovery almost two years ago, after many setbacks and injuries: the move to Regensburg. A brand new team with coach Michael Geserer and physiotherapist and sports coach Florian Zitzelsberger, with whom she is also private.
First exclamation point that she established last year when she even won more matches than the top two players Simone Halep and Garbine Muguruza. In February 2018, she entered the top ten for the first time. Now she is in a Grand Slam semifinal for the first time – everything she credits to her team. "I've always known that my game was good enough, it was the mental thing I had to work on," said Görges, who has always had all the facilities for a high-level player: the difficulties basic, aggression, good control of the game,
Especially, the new team brought him "mental balance and positivity," said Görges at Wimbledon. "Without her, I would not be sitting here now." In the quarter-final against Bertens Görges remained calm, unlike earlier, despite the unfortunate first leg lost. "I knew I was the best player and I was just waiting for my next chance."
Görges has also worked successfully on turf, with the exception of his favorite cover, at joint training sessions with David Prinosil. In fact, the 29-year-old at Wimbledon radiates maturity to face the hype that a semi-final match against Serena Williams brings. And the prospect of a possible German final: "I think that sounds pretty cool," said Görges to a possible duel with Kerber, who finds himself in the other semifinal on Jelena Ostapenko
Ready for a duel with Serena
However, the winner of the Grand Slam, Serena Williams, who has clearly lost at Roland Garros, is waiting in advance. "It's a very different pitch here, I've worked hard on the match, I'm going to develop a tactic with my team, we'll be ready."
Your opponent, however, seems on the path of the ancient form to be. The semi-final of Wimbledon is the best result since Serena Williams returned after a 13-month break. In the quarter-final win against Camila Giorgi, for the first time, she showed once again the usual quality of the fighter and his desire to win. "I feel very good again on the field," said the former world number one, who went back to number 51 in the provisional standings of 181st place. "Number 51 still does not sound like Serena," she said, announcing new exploits: "You know, I hate to lose, it's been a long time since I won a title."
