“Swiatek’s Hilarious Take on Daytime Visibility After Shocking Cincinnati Semi-Final Loss!”
Iga Swiatek joked on social media following her semifinal defeat at the Cincinnati Open. The world No. 1 responded to a post from the X page “Out of Context Iga Swiatek,” which shared an old photo of her at the United Cup, where she was watching her compatriot Hubert Hurkacz play against German Alexander Zverev.
In the photo, Swiatek is shown with edited glasses and the caption: “Me trying to see the ball during the day matches in Cincy,” poking fun at the difficulty of following the ball in daytime broadcasts at Cincinnati. Swiatek replied to the post: “Yeah. Yesterday me too,” she wrote, a day after suffering a painful loss in the semifinals to Sabalenka, 6-3, 6-3.
Naomi Osaka has arrived at the US Open and is already interacting with fans as the Fan Days kick off. The Japanese star didn’t achieve the best results in her recent tournaments, being eliminated in the second round of the Canadian Open by Elise Mertens and then losing in the Cincinnati Open qualifiers to Ashlyn Krueger.
However, Osaka remains a name to watch at the US Open, where she claimed two of her Grand Slam titles in 2018 and 2020. Currently ranked World No. 90, she received a wildcard from the organizers to compete in the main draw and is one of the top female stars in the tournament.
The US Open’s social media shared a video of the former World No. 1 interacting with her fans, signing autographs, and taking photos at Flushing Meadows, as she prepares to play in one of her favorite tournaments.
