Agree it was hinderance, IF the opponent was distracted by the unnecessary hindering move, but Donna did not see the move and was not bothered by it and won the point. Hopefully this will be last time Iga does this. She is WAY too good for this maneuver.
"Hopefully, this will be the last time" - Pam Shriver on Swiatek's distraction tactics

Iga Swiatek resorted to distraction tactics in the San Diego Open final against Donna Vekic and once again she was heavily criticized for it.
The criticism prompted Swiatek to apologize for it after the match and Pam Shriver hopes she won't be doing it again. While Vekic was not distracted by Swiatek flapping her hands at the net and won the point, Shriver thinks it was a hindrance nonetheless:
"Agree it was hinderance IF the opponent was distracted by the unnecessary hindering move, but Donna did not see the move and was not bothered by it and won the point.
Hopefully, this will be the last time Iga does this. She is WAY too good for this manoeuvre."
It can as a response to Paul Annacone who responded to a fan question asking whether that should have been a hindrance.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
