Iga Swiatek was left confused about whether she was doing an interview or speech after winning the 2023 China Open in Beijing on Sunday.
Swiatek saw off Liudmila Samsonova in a dominant 6-2, 6-2 win to seal her first WTA 1000 title of the season and gave her congratulations to the Russian before getting confused.
Iga: “I want to congratulate Liudmila. You’re a great person & that’s the most important thing… can I continue?”
“Sure”
Iga: “I don’t know if this is an interview or speech”
“Uh. It’s both actually… shall we?”
She also thanked her team after the win with some criticism coming recently of her psychologist, Daria Abramowicz for using her phone and for members of her team not showing emotion.
“Thank you to my team. We all know how hard it is sometimes. I’m really happy I have your support no matter what. I don’t know what I would do without the people around me. I’m pretty grateful," she said.
What a week. Thank you TEAM 🫶🏼

- On the subject of potential Losers in Tennis... Why is the tennis media avoiding the news that Giorgi and Family robbed their landlord in Florence? Apparently they did some Midnight Marketing and stole antique and collectible items belonging to the landlord's family (including large furniture and miscellaneous Family History items). The old guy and his mother just want their 'history' back, even though they are losing thousands of Euro's in 6 months of unpaid rent. This man makes it clear the father is the main player behind this sudden disappearance (and the tax dodging in Italy).
mandoist20-05-2024 - Seems like Emma is taking the Giorgi and Bouchard route -- using occasional Tennis as a media hit for their alternate ambitions (zooming sponsors, photo shoots, magazine covers, TV commercials, anti-Social Media postings, hiring photog's to make "informal" shots of her on vacation, etc., etc.) Hey, WTA! Hey, Sponsors! You're being played to the tune of millions of misspent Euros and Pounds!!mandoist20-05-2024
- That explains a lot about her "priorities" (which are not necessarily tennis). Makes sense.mandoist20-05-2024
