„Co to za pytanie?” – Iga Świątek odparła reporterowi na „dziwne” pytanie o włosy podczas konferencji prasowej US Open.
The exchange ended awkwardly as the reporter left the room, and Swiatek buried her face in her hands.
Iga Swiatek, Polish Tennis player moved into the third round of the US Open after a hard-fought 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 win over Suzan Lamens on Thursday. Her post-match press conference drew attention when Swiatek came into a heated exchange with a reporter.
During the media interaction, a journalist asked Swiatek, the No. 2 seed, if she would consider wearing beads in her hair, seemingly referring to Naomi Osaka’s style. Swiatek looked surprised and shot back, “What kind of question is that, excuse me? If I wanted to weave beads in my hair? No. What’s going on?”
The exchange ended awkwardly as the reporter left the room, and Swiatek buried her face in her hands.
Questioned on double standards in Sport
The Polish star also faced pointed questions about whether the recent clash between Taylor Townsend and Jelena Ostapenko showed a double standard in sports.
Swiatek admitted she was not fully aware of the incident, “I can’t speak about every sport… I was focused on my early match, so I’m not caught up on that. But you can’t really judge the whole community by one person’s behavior,” she explained.
Despite her response, the reporter continued pressing her before the English session ended.
Netizens reacts
Social media users praised how ‘smartly’ Swiatek managed to reply to the reporter, an X (formerly Twitter) user wrote, “What the heck was the reporter trying to do? Catch her saying yes and accuse her of culture appropriation or have her say no and label her as racist? It’s all crazy! She’s too smart to answer this stupidity.”
Another user wrote, “The American media is the enemy of the people.”
One more user joined the conversation and noted, “Very weird question. Some journalists intentionally ask disingenuous questions to put athletes on the spot. Nice response.”
Eyes on third round clash
With the off-court drama behind her, Swiatek now turns her focus to the third round, where she will face Anna Kalinskaya on Saturday.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
