World No 1 beats Marketa Vondrousova 7-6 (3), 6-1 in CincinnatiSwiatek reveals that a lost set on Thursday provoked abuse
Iga Swiatek has called for less hate and more thoughtfulness from fans on the internet after she received criticism even as she continues to progress through the draw at the Cincinnati Open this week.
“The amount of hate and criticism that me and my team get after even losing a set is just ridiculous,” said Swiatek. “I want to encourage people to be more thoughtful when they comment on the internet. It would be great if you guys [journalists] would kind of help us make it happen because we all sacrifice a lot, and we are all working really hard to be in that place.
