Iga Swiatek and Poland lost their second consecutive United Cup final on Sunday.

During her match against Coco Gauff, which she lost 6-4, 6-4, the world No.2 took a medical time-out (MTO) even though she was not injured.

In a press conference after the final, she explained the reasons for the MTO: "I wasn't fresh today. Nothing in particular happened. I was just tired.

You know, the amount of matches, especially at the beginning of the tournament, was quite high, but, yes, everything's fine.

And I'm happy because I played against some big hitters this week and some tough players too.

I was able to play some excellent tennis in both situations. Today, I wasn't able to give 100%."

Swiatek Iga

2e, 8395 points

She's a cheater period. Who does this?

Lol, higher you climb, the harder the falls. Crybabies saga continues...
Not a great champion, but a sore loser and a cheater imho. ***on her titles.
Glad igo crybaby... got put in her place again.

Is it legal to take a time out just because you are tired?
I thought medical time outs were reserved for injury and illness.
Comments?
I'd also be interested to see how many of these "tired" timeouts are taken when the player is ahead or momentum is shifting their way....:)

Surely you can't have a time out for being tired.

I'm sure if an American did it people would say it was fine 😐

Gauff is full of confidence ahead of the Australian Open: "It was one of my best performances ever".

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
