Follow Us
Iga Swiatek, the young blood from Poland who harbors great potential, isn’t happy with the current arrangement at the US Open. She has openly denounced the changes the Grand Slam has brought forth. Swiatek has had a splendid year, winning the French Open and going on a record 37-match winning streak.
Though she recently faced a serious dip in her form and is willing to level it with the US Open. But the latest amendment made in the weight of balls for the majors might affect her game heavily. Therefore, the hard hitter urged the organizer to change the ‘horrible’ balls. However, according to John McEnroe, she should rather modify her style.

McEnroe’s advice for Iga Swiatek
The 7-time Grand Slam champion, John McEnroe, recently gave his thoughts concerning the issue of women’s ball being lighter than men’s and Swiatek’s frustration. He said, “Maybe that’s just letting out some nerves. Maybe there’s some truth to that, maybe the balls are a little bit lighter. Maybe she doesn’t like that.”
“But whatever it is, she’s got to come to grips with it because she’s still obviously one of the favourites, or the favourite,” the four-time US Open champion added.
