Video - A Football Break for Swiatek on Her Day Off
Iga Swiatek had a scare against Elena Rybakina this Sunday but still secured her spot in the Roland-Garros quarterfinals, where she will face Elina Svitolina.
She enjoyed a day off this Monday and took the opportunity to play a quick, improvised game of football with her team on the practice courts.
For the Polish player, it was a way to relieve some of the pressure on her shoulders, as she is highly anticipated in Paris with her four titles.
