"Don't know if I should be happy or sad about it" - Swiatek on being a meme queen

Iga Swiatek has become a dominant force in tennis but it's not only her game that she is getting recognizable as she has kinda become a meme queen on social media.

Most of those memes are made by fan accounts on social media and there is really no harm to them. Yet, that was not the case in middle school where Swiatek got teased oftentimes with memes. It's nothing unusual as many teenagers go through that phase but she admitted that she's unsure whether to be happy or sad about being a 'meme queen':

"Honestly, I was already a meme queen at my middle school. But that was pretty mean from the other kids. But I was. Maybe that's another thing I was born to do. I don't know if I should be happy or sad about that."

None of that mattered to her in her tennis career as she keeps progressing and she is currently the undisputed world number one after winning the 4th consecutive event she played at. The streak might or might not continue in Madrid but it's an event where she played really well last year.
