Iga Swiatek and Simona Halep
World No.1 Iga Swiatek is in the form of her life and is on a humongous winning spree. She has won 8 titles this season and also won the San Diego Open last week. She decided to take a break and skip the Guadalajara Open before competing in the final tournament of the year- the WTA Finals where she’ll enter as the top seed and the hot favorite.
In her time away from the tour, Swiatek is doing some indoor training and some gym sessions. She posted a reel on Instagram of herself training in the gym. While the video looks pretty normal, it’s the music she added to the reel that does the trick and raises some eyebrows. She added, “Another one Bites the dust” to her reel. The video is very eye-catching with the music but when thought deeply, the timing of her reel isn’t particularly ideal.
Just last day, 2-time grand slam champion Simona Halep tested positive for doping and is currently the hottest topic in the tennis world. While it may not be intentional, it looks like Swiatek is mocking Halep by jamming to “Another one bites the dust” implying that another top player has been caught doping.
Iga Swiatek’s dominance this season
Iga Swiatek has been miles ahead of everyone else this season. She has over 60 wins this season and has won 8 titles which include 2 grand slam titles and 4 WTA 1000 titles. She sits at the top of the WTA Rankings with over 10000 points and has more than double the points as compared to the World No.2.
She has had the best season on the WTA Tour since Serena Williams‘ 2013 season and has shown the level of consistency that was missing in the women’s game for the last few years. She will now end her season at the WTA Finals in Texas next month.
