Świątek: Yes, stupid me
The funny situation took place during the press conference of Iga ¦wi ± tek. One of the journalists told her that she is the only tennis player who, since 2020, has managed to play in each subsequent Grand Slam tournament in the second week of the competition. He also added that it was an amazing result and asked what Iga Świątek thought was the key to such regularity.
The Polish tennis player was happy after this information. “You’re kidding me,” she said, adding that she was very happy with the result. She even asked someone from her camp what the English word for record was. After a while, Swiatek reflected and asked the journalist to repeat the question. The journalist added that it was about an active series of victories.
– I was really happy, but I realized that it is impossible, because we have a big three in tennis. Yes, stupid me. However, I am very proud. My goal last year was to be consistent and now I can continue it by adding more goals – admitted Świątek, slightly knocking her head.
The Christmas – Kanepi game will take place on Wednesday.
