Swiatek was not about to apologize on her game, and especially not to say that she was tired. Competitive desire and global frustration led to clumsy exchange with a journalist, according to the tennis channel.

When asked if she needed a “mental break”, Swiatek retaliated, “why would you say that?”

“Talk to people responsible for the calendar. Do you need a mental break?” She asked, following: “You seem to need a mental break.”

The journalist agreed that they may need a “mental break”.
