Iga Swiatek has not shied away from voicing her opinions on the frantic WTA schedule as of late.
After an intense year, with the added challenge of transitioning in and out of the Olympics, Swiatek has complained about the tour’s schedule, branding the pace of it as ‘crazy’.
The world number one’s season has been relatively straightforward, having already added four WTA 1000 titles and a fourth French Open crown to her dazzling collection this season.
Things did, however, take a slight turn after Swiatek was stunned by Qinwen Zheng at the Olympics and then beaten by her arch-nemesis Aryna Sabalenka in straight sets in Cincinnati for the first time in their fierce rivalry.
But, after a nervy win over Kamilla Rakhimova, the Pole is off the mark at this year’s US Open as she bids to emulate the form that propelled her to success in 2022.
