Iga Swiatek is no stranger to unpleasant experiences during press conferences, as well as with the media in general.

Following her qualification for the third round of the US Open, the world No. 2 had to respond to a surprising question posed by a journalist during the press conference.

The journalist asked the Polish player if she planned, like Naomi Osaka, to put beads in her hair during her matches.

Swiatek: "What kind of question is that?"

Journalist: "Have you thought about putting beads in your hair?"

Swiatek: "No. What's going on here? What was that question?"

A reaction that did not please the journalist, who decided to leave the press room, leaving the player perplexed.

Oh, so a black journalist decides to leave the room because he thinks Iga is racist. Tell me what's new in this world.

Don't think Iga is racist. She's just a doper and cheater.

Omnipresent cameras, line judges on the verge of extinction, mistakes that persist nonetheless: technology fascinates as much as it divides. Tennis, at a crossroads, is still searching for its balance between progress and emotion.

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.

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.
