Iga Swiatek shared a cryptic message on social media after her straight-sets loss to Aryna Sabalenka. The World No. 1 has not had an ideal month as she suffered an upset at the hands of eventual gold medalist Qinwen Zheng in the Paris Olympics semifinal. 

The Pole did secure a bronze medal but was visibly upset by her performance and result in the earlier round. Adding to this, Sabalenka broke a three-match losing streak against her to reach the final at the Cincinnati Open.
