Not so long ago, the Polish player won another WTA tournament, this time in San Diego. Świątek won the last match with Donna Vekić in straight sets (6:3, 3:6, 6:0). However, everyone remembered Iga’s behavior, which was to distract her rival. The WTA leader at one point began to perform the so-called “Romper”. After the meeting, many journalists described the event, and in social media it is called “the Christmas dance”.
Iga’s “dirty trick”?
The Russian site “Championate” devoted the entire text to the behavior of Iga, already in the title clearly stating the thesis: “The best tennis player in the world crushes her rivals with a dirty trick?”. a similar event also took place last year when winning the US Open.
His behavior is ‘a moot point’
In support of this, the article cites the words of world tennis legend John McEnroe. The American believes that the behavior of the Pole was below the belt.
