The New York Grand Slam is in its second week. During this year’s US Open, a rather mysterious virus began to show up among several tennis players. Iga Sventek made a special address on this occasion.
In the first week of the game, we could observe, among other things: health problems with Ons Jaber, last year’s US Open finalist. Hubert Gurkacz also had health problems. Unfortunately, it looks like the US just needs to be very careful because a mysterious virus is circulating around the New York tournament.
Iga Swiatek urges caution during US Open
The defender of the year-old trophy spoke about mysterious health problems. Iga Sviontek suggested that she noticed what was happening during the tournament and called for more caution.
- It would be nice if those players who are not feeling well wear masks or something like that, because I don’t know if this is somehow related to COVID, but usually at such sporting events these things are easily tolerated . Therefore, I try to be careful and attentive, as well as monitor my health, ”said the Pole during a meeting with reporters in New York.
Recall that Swiatek has three wins. The Pole defeated the Swede Rebecca Peterson (6:0, 6:1), the Australian Daria Saville (6:3, 6:4) and the Slovenian Kaya Juvan (6:0, 6:1). As you can see, the leader of the WTA rating did not lose a set in the tournament.
“And aside from the fact that I came to the press today with wet hair, I didn’t have that kind of trouble, so… This season, I caught a few colds, and it affected me a lot, so I definitely don’t wear “I don’t want to make such mistakes at the Grand Slam tournament, I watch what I eat, so it’s important for me to keep track of everything and not allow this,” the US Open title defender said a year ago.
When will Iga Sventek play next match?
The leader of the WTA rating is already in the fourth round of the tournament in New York. Another rival of Swiatek will be Elena Ostapenko. The tennis player from Latvia will certainly be a difficult test for the polka. The game Sventek - Ostapenko will take place on the night from Sunday to Monday. If you look at the Polish clock, September 4 will be around 4 am.
The fight will be shown on Eurosport 1 and Eurosport Extra in Player.
