The Polish tennis sensation, along with fellow players Sabalenka, Rybakina, and Vondrousova, agreed upon the unfavorable nature of the court. But she also said words that added a layer of comfort to the players.
“Obviously, it’s not a positive thing for any of us,” Swiatek accepted, echoing the concerns of her co-players. Continuing to share her thoughts on the concern, she added, “Sometimes it bounces weirdly on clay and grass as well. I try to think in that perspective & just do my job.

But at the end it doesn’t really matter because all of us have the same court & the same conditions.”
