Swiatek returns to court and practices with Radwanska ahead of charity match

Iga Swiatek is back to chasing balls on the court as the Polish player is preparing for her charity match for Ukraine.

Swiatek elected to stage a charity match to help the people of Ukraine feeling compelled to help. She's been fairly vocal about her support for Ukraine in the situation playing with a pin on her hat in the colours of Ukraine ever since the invasion started. She also confirmed she will continue to wear it until the situation resolves.
