"I'd love to meet her on Tour again because she was very kind to me when I was a much less experienced player" - Swiatek on Osaka pregnancy announcement
WTA
Iga Swiatek spoke very kindly about Naomi Osaka after the former number one announced her pregnancy on social media as she sent her good wishes.
Osaka won't be coming to tennis any time soon due to her pregnancy but she promised to come back in 2024, even hinting at playing the Australian Open in 2024. Swiatek certainly hopes that is the case because she would like to play her again if that is what Osaka wants to do in the future:
"I wish Naomi nothing but the best and I hope she will find her way to do exactly what is best for her. It would be great to see her come back to her best shape on the court and to compete against her if that is something she wants. I'd love to meet her on Tour again because she was very kind to me when I was a much less experienced player."
Iga added:
"Of course now we know that her comeback will be on hold for a bit as she just announced she's pregnant and has other goals and priorities in the near future. So I'm excited for her and sending all my best to her on that major lfie announcement."

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
