NEW YORK (AP) — Iga Swiatek doesn't need a break, but asked a reporter if he did.
Swiatek has played a lot of tennis this summer. She won the Wimbledon title — where she beat Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the final — and also the title in Cincinnati immediately before the U.S. Open, where she played in the mixed doubles tournament that began the next day.
But when asked if she was tired, Swiatek said: “Well, I don’t know. It’s not like my matches were exhausting here.”
The reporter then clarified he meant a mental break.
“You look like you need a mental break,” Swiatek said.
When the reporter jokingly said that he did, Swiatek said: “Well then, what are you doing here?”
He replied that he needed to make it through the end of the tournament on Sunday.
“Good luck,” Swiatek said.
