#⃣3⃣0⃣ feels just right 😎 World No. 1 @iga_swiatek notches her 30th WTA 1000 win of the season, after a thrilling three set victory over rising star Andreeva! #CincyTennis
World number one Iga Swiatek has once again criticised the tennis
calendar. The 23-year-old is already regarded as the best player currently
playing in women’s tennis and has won as many as four Grand Slam titles.
Swiatek is currently taking part in the Cincinnati Open, where she booked her place in the semifinal after beating Russia’s young tennis
sensation Mirra Andreeva with a score of 4-6, 6-3, 7-5. Talking after the
match, the Polish tennis star once again criticised the tennis calendar. She
was of the opinion that playing continuous tennis is making it less fun for the
players who are not enjoying the sport as much as they should. She also stated
that while she would love to play every competition, it becomes ‘pretty exhausting’
for players.
"So what can I say I've been kind of an advocate,
saying that well, we shouldn't be pushing and pushing for us to play more,” she
said while talking to Sky Sports. “Obviously, it's not our decision, but for
sure, I think we have too many tournaments in the season. It's not gonna end
well as it's just it makes tennis less fun for us. Let's just say, I mean,
obviously, I love playing all these places but it's pretty exhausting.”
In the semifinal, Swiatek will go up against Belarus Aryna
Sabalenka. The world number three booked her spot in the last four after
beating Liudmila Samsonova in the quarterfinal in straight sets with a score of
6-3, 6-2. It will be the 12th meeting between the two in
professional tennis. In the previous 11 meetings, it was Swiatek who clearly
had an edge who won on eight occasions and suffered three defeats. Their most
recent meeting was in the final of the Rome Masters, where the Warsaw-born star
came out on top in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-3.
