Not long after, Jim Courier also reacted, noting that Jannik Sinner could have been an example to many tennis players, including Iga Swiatek. According to him, Sinner is a player who knows how to deal with pressure and is aware that sometimes it is necessary to retreat, but look for his chance to attack.

Women's tennis star Iga Swiatek had a few things to get off her chest following her loss to Elena Rybakina at the 2026 Australian Open. Swiatek, a six-time Grand Slam champion, has paid close attention to the way women's tennis players have been covered in Melbourne.

Rybakina, now into her fourth Grand Slam semifinal (first since Wimbledon 2024), entered this match on a roll: she has now won 18 of her last 19 matches, and her last eight against the WTA Top 10 (Swiatek is 2-6 in her last eight).

MELBOURNE—Iga Swiatek picked up a privacy theme that Coco Gauff left the Australian Open with after the 21-year-old American’s racket-smashing, frustration-releasing moments away from the court went viral.

The two-time Grand Slam champion says she believed cameras were off when she smashed her racquet after an Australian Open loss.
