World number one Poland’s Iga Swiatek has mysteriously appeared wearing a tape on her mouth while practising ahead of the Canadian Open.

The 22-year-old is coming fresh after winning a WTA title in her hometown and started preparing for the upcoming event.

In pictures that appeared on social media, Swiatek was wearing a tape on her mouth. It is not clear why she was wearing that.

Some social media users believe that it might be down to her finding a way to increase her nasal breathing which is often considered good for enhancing the performance of athletes.

Swiatek will be hoping to continue her good form after winning the Warsaw Open by beating Germany’s Laura Siegemund in straight sets in the final with a score of 6-0, 6-1.

The upcoming Canadian Open, where the Warsaw-born will play her first match on Tuesday, 08 August, will be a perfect platform for the top-seeded player to prepare for the last Grand Slam of the year.

Swiatek will be defending her crown at the US Open as she won the title in 2022 after beating Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 7-6.
