Kudos to Iga for speaking her mind. I don't know how the players keep up with all the travelling and tournaments.
@Maliilse75 I agree, but there ae a lot of haters, even on this site, it looks like they don't care about facts, or anything else but to write hate toward Iga. That's shameful and disgusting.
@@My_handle243 Agreed. Pretty sure most players think the same but she's the bravest to speak up.
@@Maliilse75 absolutely
I think she doesn't speak for herself. As #1 she is obliged to represent voice of others. She is right as we don't want more matches but more high quality matches. IMHO best tournament so far on WTA side was Madrid because of optimal schedule. We had lot of high quality matches coming from top players even in early rounds and great final on top of that. Madrid starts 3 weeks after last serious hard court event (Miami), so all top players are properly rested. Madrid follows WTA 500 Stuggart that starts weak earlier and with its indoor conditions serves great as soft transition from hard to clay season.
@@piqo44 Agree. Of course, as #1 Iga speaks not only for herself, but represents the voice of others. The WTA level of play, intensity, and energy are much higher right now, than 20 and yet even more than 40 years ago, when Navratilova competed on the pro tour, especially comparing her low energy serve and volley game. It's ridiculous to hear hateful remarks from some of the legends - it's straight forward hate, shameful, and should have no place in any media. They attack Iga attaching to any ridicules. They speak to launch a hate campaign toward Iga. Why even to conduct interviews with such "legends" or invite them as commentators for the tennis matches and tournaments, "legends" who hurt tennis.
I think what she is suggesting is the amount of play the top players are required to commit to is too much. The key word being commit. For the non top players, more tournaments are the way they survive. Top players should be able to cut their schedules back 20-30%
Record 47/5 (52/6 w/Paris)
If Iga hadn’t won so many wta1000 this season, she wouldn’t’ve been so exhausted mentally and physically.
Her opponents have 10 matches fewer or even more…
And you know why her opponents have 10 matches fewer or more?
Not because they play fewer tournaments.
You really that dumb?
@@PiotrWolski-vl7cz - must be even dumber - turn on reading comprehension
Health and Happiness IGA!
The more you win , the less you rest Iga
Congratulations Iga.
Iga is totally correct. Way too many tournaments and only burn-out will be the result.
That's the problem with today's GREED!!!
They don’t care though, even if the players literally collapse from exhaustion on court.
Also, did they even have an off season last year?
If williams did not greed.
Just another win. Congratulations to 1GA.
Well done IGA
She is right. I agree its hard for them to have a life outside of tennis especially for a mother
I feel for Iga. She’s not really my favorite player to watch on the tour, but I really appreciate how talented she is. I would like to see her and saba and Elena win many many grand slams. I would like to see iga challenge Serena’s records in the next 10 years. Don’t want her to burn out. Tough because she is pressured to do this to keep her rankings.
Congrats 1ga! ❤
Jak to powiedziala Iga podczas AO: to sie nie skonczy, dopoki sie nie skonczy. Matko, jak wytrzymac ten rezim turniejowy? Gdzie jest zycie prywatne? Kiedy odpoczac-w listpadzie-a od stycznia znowu to samo? Ja pieprze.
WELL SPOKEN IGA! YOU SAY IT LIKE IT IS! NO WHINI G JUST FACTS!!! THE SCHEDULE IS CRAZY!❤❤
Long Comment.
There are so many players who are burnt out; it's not the length of their matches, it's the travelling time, the prep and the training. It's not as though they know they only have to get to a certain point in the year and then there'll be a break for 6 weeks, it is week after week of the same gruelling physicality, both women and men. Yes, they earn millions of dollars, but when you're just playing tournament to tournament from week to week (many so that you can defend points), the money is probably not something you consider - a Top 50 player is not living the lavish life of a top 5 or 10 ranked person. I feel as though there are so many players whom we could see more of their potential if they were rested, more often. Rublev, Kasatkina, Gauff, Pegula, Medvedev. It's easy to say 'if you lose early, you don't have to play as many matches', but all that actually means is that you can arrive at the next tournament earlier, annoyed that you've lost points; it's definitely, not a break.
More players will start doing what Novak does now. Pick and choose and tournaments be damned.
@@57too Picking and choosing is great, but Novak can afford to do that and most players, cannot. Rafael took a massive break due to injury and although his ranking dropped significantly, he probably didn't even realise how much it affected him, financially as he could afford it. There is no way a Top 50 or even a Top 20 could play a Tournament and then take a break for 2 or 3 weeks without it costing them a lot financially or losing a lot of points.
Iga we love you .
From Washington DC.
You are a queen 👸😍
The WTA is hungry for money. It doesn't care about the players. They are literally cannon fodder for the WTA. The player's position is determined by the ranking and the necessity to participate in tournaments. If they want to rake in money in the WTA, let them have smaller tournaments, optional ones, maybe without such a big score. But they won't do that because there would be too little money there.
It's hard to watch everything.
It's hard to imagine to play, like Iga 😮
IGA 😎😂
Players should make the final decision.
If she needs rest, then play certain tournaments, like other players do, but it isn't fair for upcoming players to STOP their game or goals to reach the top. She already established her career and ready to piss on someone else's. This is another look into Iga's selfish mentality, if she tired then rest don't play so many tournaments, but there's no need to stop the WHOLE PARTY and stop other players gaining points. The thing is she doesn't want to jeopardize number 1 spot, so everybody needs to stop playing, so Iga can rest Not to mention she already missed all of grass season and only played 13 tournaments, they're only obligated to play 15 tournaments a season.
Sabalenka and Gauff teams joint forces to pull her down.
..?..
Inga and Nadal are one in the same. They think they’re the elite and that they can play by their rules not the rules. Everybody else plays by. I think the number one rating has gone to her head. I think she’s very disrespectful always holding up or tennis racket to stop the play to slow things down I think she’s very disrespectful to the other players and she needs to get a new attitude
Sounds like a Dalek
Refusing to shake hands with umpire at olympics Sounds MANIC in this interview
Look if Swiatek is complaining is because she's tired so don't bet on her to win the US open !
It's not like my mother, who not only raised her children, but also worked in a factory, never sitting down.
I think she would have had to work several lifetimes (millions of hours) to earn the equivalent of the prize money of this master 1000 winner.
You are right, because our mothers' work does not take place in the spotlight of cameras, in stadiums and for the fans' money. And as for the amount of this money: what kind of money do even the best tennis players get compared to footballers or basketball players? After all, they earn 120-150 million dollars a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean can you not just decide to not play in the next tournant?
depends. Some are mandatory.
Wtf rest
Robinson Steven Lopez Jose Rodriguez Donna
just take a week off, stop blaming other people.
Brother, it’s not only about how many games she played so far this season,by far the most.. Travel, Hotels, Time Zones,Sponsors obligations, Family , Friends obligations, etc be serious, week off? Late October, beginning of December
LISTEN IF YOU ARE ABLE AND THEN YOU WONT MAKE UP CRAP! IGA SPOKE GENUINELY AND ISNT BLAMING ANYONE!!
@@lucypedzinski1403 lose the caps lock freak.
@@mietekkundera996 Iga is free to manage her own schedule, she is not obligated to play every tournament scheduled. Actually Emma Navarro has played the most matches. Many players who dont make a deep run every week like that they have an option to play other tournaments. The victim act is wearing thin, if she wants a break pull out of events. She already skipped most of the grass season.
NO THE CAPS ARE IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE THAT DONT UNDERSTAND THE ACTUAL FACTS!!!
Don't hear any of the men or other women complain and mens' grand slams are best of 5! Stop whining and take a break if you need one smh.
Wasn’t the ball quality an issue in Cincinnati last year?
the problem was raised two years ago but this year they again sent poor quality balls to the tournament, it's not a joke, it's a matter of effective lobbying for their product!
Has somebody held her at a gunpoint to force her to play all these tournaments?
That's the point. Yes they are forced to play by the WTA.
Yes.The WTA 1000 turnaments are mandatory.
@danielnowak2958 so if players refuse are they kicked off the wta
she is held at gunpoint by the WTA regulations, she must start or she can cheat and withdraw from the tournament under any pretext, otherwise she pays a fine. Iga has already raised this issue and said that she will not stoop to vulgar fraud.
@@blue_red_screenthey get penalised and fines
It's her profession. It won't alway be fun. She should cut back on her schedule to the extent that she can. Nobody ever said being number 1 in the world was going to be easy.
I used to say Iga was the next Steffi Graf. Then after her struggles on grass, I said she was the next Monica Seles. Now after all the complaining, whining, and crying, she’s looking to be more like the next Martina Hingis.
Then skip a few tournaments. Not everything is for you
Not allowed to
Do they get kicked off the wta?@@wedwardes
Chyba nie może odpuścić, przepisy nie pozwalaja. Ja Idze współczuję, ciągle pod presją, każdy mecz analizowany na czynniki pierwsze, stado zawodniczek scigajacych wspina się na wyżyny swoich umiejętności w meczu z Iga, do tego hejterzy i media. Jezu
WTA has its own rules. You can't pick and choose tournaments and skip them at will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They have very drastic cards, including money cards. They hold players like horses by the reins!!! You can only cheat!!!!! And is that what sports are about?
This is her 13th tournament of the year. Many players have already played 20+ events. She likes to complain at every opportunity, top players only have to play mandatory 15 events including WTA1000, Grand Slam and WTA Finals.
She bugs me
You're pissing me off. Demanding that organizations create healthy rules might irritate you? Well, work 18 hours a day and don't complain. Remember, you still have to be a super champion in your industry!
Poor you
Iga enjoy the game that has given you millions of Dollars. No need to complain. It is a business!
lol they play really too much. I am a fan of tennis, but even for me its too much to watch! When they are home?
Every sport has an off season except tennis, stop being a brainless fan
It is a job and a business. None of them has ever rejected the fat cheques they receive.@@ItsJayYork
What an awkward hint. And how much does she earn? Maybe look at basketball or football players who earn 150 million dollars a year.
@@kasiaxx-k9x 4 Grand Slams, WTA finals and 10 WTA1000 events. Outside of that she is not obligated to play.
she wins most of her matches in an hour , so her complaining about rest time is dumb !!!
Winning in 1 hour demands a lot more focus and skill, it's a huge effort to stay on such high level and intensity. You have no idea what you're saying 🤦♀️
IGA is only stating facts about the schedules and she has taken several breaks when needed!!!
Valentine or Valya from Russia, you and your celebrity Putin have been in trouble for at least 3 years now.
She needs to get grip on her mental stability, champion but some of sets are just on crapy level
Master of posts, do not insult the player, you know about tennis as I do about American basketball. You better not be a clown!
Congratulations to Mirra who is the real winner .
WTA should finally exclude GMO from tours
Iga sent Mirra back to high school.
If Mirra is the winner. She should be playing tomorrow against Sabalenka. You are talking rubbish.
Congratulations 🎉champ Iga ❤
Your view of winning is very weird.
Yep, spotted one russian troll. Always the same, win with a russian, get shat on by russian trolls.
JUST ANOTHER IGNORANT TROLL !!
Iga, you play a lot of matches, but they are usually short :)
więc musi więcej energii wkładać, zasady fizyki z podstawówki kolego!
@@lidiazubowsky3330Twierdzisz, że wykonywanie tej samej pracy lepiej zawsze kosztuje więcej energii? To nie masz pojęcia o czym piszesz.
Iga you are #1 in my book!! I totally agree with you. Coming from the Olympics to another tournament has to be hard. You did awesome in Cincinnati! 🎾🎾
