People calling her an actress or faker for her reaction here have clearly absolutely no fucking idea how damn hard a tennis ball hits. It hurts when your forehandless buddy hits you in the arm at the local club, imagine a pro at full speed in the stomach.

Almost 3 years since, and this remains true
You gotta ask yourself: if there weren’t any clay events, would Swiatek be ranked No. 1? Highly unlikely. Sabalenka takes her to the woodshed 6-3, 6-3 to reach the finals in Cincy.

I used to watch every single second of the ATP Finals every year. Didn't miss a match - even the doubles. My favorite tournament of the year. This time, I think I watched (live) 40 minutes total. I just didn't find any appeal. Is it the product or a me problem?.

Hate this kind of comments. Why do people expect players to be friendship warriors all the time. She just lost a what's for her very important match, playing bad, and possibly picking up another injury right before a major. She wants to leave that place asap.

It's funny how tennis media and fans demand clay court players (Ruud, Świątek, even Nadal back at the beginning of his career) to prove themselves on hard courts to consider them top class, but with natural hard court players, nobody really cares if they don't perform on clay.

"Is someone pushing you to play?" How about making just a quick search in the rules, I beg. There are point penalties, monetary fines, and from this year more countable results for the ranking and more mandatory tournaments.
