Swiatek after defeat in Dubai: It's probably a question of timing.

Iga Swiatek lost to Mirra Andreeva in the quarter-finals in Dubai.

In a post-match conference, she spoke of the calendar: "It's probably a question of timing.

We won't be able to play consistently for many years, week after week.

What's more, it's not like it was a while ago: apart from the top 20 players, they're getting more and more destroyed.

Now, anyone can win these tournaments. It's been like that for a few years now. But I think the calendar doesn't help.

Once again, you have to change continents, surfaces and balls. Yes, it's not easy. I'm not surprised."

More excuses 🥱

What? She last played Australia before the middle East way back in mid January

Sore loser! Her comment “anyone” makes it sound like no one else can just be a damn good player on any given day and she’s wrong. Andreeva was just so much better than Swiatek on that day period. I pray this comment fuels everyone’s fire to just beat her, beat her and beat her some more.

"We won't be able to play consistently for many years, week after week".

What does Swiatek think Nadal, Federer, Djokovic and Serena Williams were doing for so many years?

No one on the women's side seems to be a consistent tournament winner. Why?
