There is no indication that she should stop. After good performances on the courts in Adelaide and now the Polish woman confirms her good form in. On Wednesday, Polka won in a beautiful style 4: 6, 6: 2, 6: 3 with Angelique Kerber (16th WTA) and advanced to the quarter-finals of the tournament.

Wojciech Fibak criticizes Świątek’s behavior: He uses the breaks to the pain

All matches with her participation at Indian Wells follow a similar course. The Polish woman loses the first set, then leaves the court for a long time, and then changes the game. Generally, the farther into the match, the better. This was the case, for example, in the game with Kerber, when wi ± tek gave only five points in the last four games.

The behavior of Świątek related to leaving the court after losing sets was criticized by the outstanding Polish tennis player Wojciech Fibak. – Yes, as I praise and admire Iga for almost everything for almost four years, I do not like such demonstrative behavior. You can see that it is already part of the rhythm of her match. If all the other tennis players who follow it, including young players, if they all start leaving the court after one set lost, then unfortunately, but it takes away the beauty of tennis. This attitude of Iga does not suit me very much with fair play, with all this behavior, which after all impresses – he said in an interview with.

As he noted, he had behaved similarly in the past. Fibak also pointed out that such behavior significantly influences the opponents. – I watched Angelique Kerber carefully, who after the first set was probably wondering what I should do now, how to behave to play with Iga, since she won in the two previous matches after returning to the court – he said.

– The breaks with Iga are very long, our representative uses them for pain. However, this has little to do with the white sport and its beauty. Someone may say that after the won set, Iga also leaves, but it probably is not so – he summed up.
