"I would love to dress as Shania Twain" says Iga Swiatek as she looks to recreate leopard look for Halloween

Poland’s tennis star Iga Swiatek has revealed that she would like to recreate leopard look for Halloween.

The 22-year-old was recently quoted in a report where she expressed her wish regarding the upcoming festival.

"We don't have such a huge tradition of Halloween in Europe like in the US,” she said. “I would love to dress as Shania Twain, that panther look. That would be my dream. Did I say right, panther? Right, sorry.

“I don't know about these big jungle cats. But I don't know if I'm going to have an opportunity because here people dress up as well. I'm not prepared. I was more focused on yesterday's gala than Halloween. I'm going to change that for sure in future years.”

On the court, Swiatek is now preparing to take part in the last big tournament in the WTA calendar, the Finals.

The current world number two will be hoping to produce an impressive performance and end the year on a high.

Last year, Swiatek ended just short as she lost in the semifinal of the event to the current world number one Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka with a score of 6-2, 2-6, 6-1.

However, the 25-year-old did not manage to keep the winning streak going as she lost to France’s Caroline Garcia in the final with a score of 7-6, 6-4.
