While some have been highly critical of the world number 1's comments, one of the leading legends of women's tennis, Chris Evert, has been very supportive of the Pole.
Evert said: "I can certainly understand Iga Swiatek's concern about playing too many tournaments, especially when you're playing top-level tournaments every week.
