 | Schwiatek on the influence of tennis players on the WTA: No matter how many meetings we hold, we are not allowed to make decisions31-07-2024 |
Iga Swiatek is not yet ready to discuss Saudi Arabia`s participation in tennis.
Last year I delved into everything related to politics in sports, but this year I want to focus on myself. I have a lot to work on, but I still want to speak out when it comes to something important, and now it`s just rumors.
I realized that no matter how many meetings we hold, we are not allowed to make decisions. I hope the final WTA will always be a great tournament, but I wonder if the WTA will change anything. They continue to negotiate, but I want to know what will be done. We travel a lot, I try to focus on my game and I don’t have time to think about anything else, but we’ll see what happens [in Saudi Arabia] because there are still months ahead.
There are inconveniences. There have been situations where the WTA would do well to learn from what happened, for example regarding changes to mandatory tournaments. It`s difficult for us because it`s important to our schedule and recovery time. So I hope things change. We still have meetings ahead, but I want to understand how much we can influence these decisions.
