Recently suspended for a month after a positive test for a doping substance (which she had ingested via medication), Iga Swiatek was able to manage the situation rather well, especially a few months after the revelation of the Sinner case, which continues to talk a lot.
The Pole immediately released an explanation video on social networks, in her native language and with subtitles. A video that has much more to the ex 9th world, Andrea Petkovic, as she explained in Rennae Stubbs' podcast.
“I think it was Iga Swiatek who handled the situation best with her videos, by speaking directly into the camera, in her language, where she feels most comfortable, with the translation of course and the subtitles. I was very moved because you could see the stress, the distress, the relief at having it over with and she was explaining it directly to the camera as if she was looking you in the eye. I found this very strong of her and I must say that she really earned my respect. I think it's very difficult to do. »
