What did Martina Navratilova and Lindsay Davenport say about IGA Swiatek at Australian Open?

IGA Swiatek faced its most difficult test of the Australian Open 2025 against Madison Keys in the semi-finals. The 19th seeded pushed the world number two to the limit and was rewarded with a hard victory.

But after losing the second set, Swiatek left the court for a long break, when the fans criticized him for trying to disturb the rhythm of Keys. In addition, Swiatek was seen in front of the opposite direction when the keys were ready to serve, which delayed the American.

Martina Navratilova and Lindsay Davenport both reacted to the incident on the live podcast of the tennis channel, and they did not agree with Swiatek’s actions.

“I saw IGA do this quite often where she pre -empt and stop the server. She likes to be in her rhythm, but the rule is that you have to play at the time of the server, “said Navratilova.

“So don’t like it so much. She had to make sure that Madison saw her raising her arm. She could have been ready three seconds earlier. I don’t like it.

Davenport added: “It’s not good. He actually returned against him. This refocused Madison and pulled it. She was not too satisfied with some of the things that happened during the match last night. »»
