"I'm not 100% comfortable with cameras following me around": Swiatek wasn't a fan of Break Point treatment, only watched one episode
WTAFriday, 18 August 2023 at 09:00
World number one Iga Swiatek has admitted that she is not comfortable
with cameras following her during normal days.
The 22-year-old has recently been featured in the first
episode of the Breaking Points series.
Swiatek was quoted in a report recently where she stated that
she only watched her episode and also admitted that after watching it, she
realised that she is not comfortable with cameras following her around.
“I only watched my episode,” she said. “Sorry but it was
kind of weird watching me on this big TV show. The experience was nice & I
learned a lot, but I also learned I’m not 100% comfortable with cameras
following me around.
"I wasn’t one of those players who agreed to everything because
I didn’t want the crew to be at my house, shooting with my family a lot.”
Swiatek is currently taking part in the Cincinnati Open
(Western & Southern Open) where she has already booked her place in the last eight of the competition after beating China’s Qinwen Zheng with a score
of 3-6, 6-1, 6-1 on Wednesday.
She is now set to face the reigning Wimbledon champion Czech
Republic’s Marketa Vondrousova in the quarterfinal on Friday.

- Sabalenka seems so unhappy. When you get angry after every mistake you make on court, you’ve got some issues sweetie! She also does seem to be “partying” a lot if you follow her social media (I don’t lolol). Very immature personality.DaveyWavey03-09-2026
- The main difference for bigger names like Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverez, etc. is that they usually make it to the later stages of tournaments while 99% of the other players win a round or two and then move on to the next tournament. The bigger names are playing more, playing longer and therefore more injury issues. The money is great but it all comes with a price!DaveyWavey03-09-2026
