Awkward Iga Swiatek shuts down journalist: I'm too stupid to answer that question
Swiatek was taken by surprise by the journalist's reply, but she composed herself and responded to the question gracefully. Replying to the query, Swiatek asked. 'I don't know what they mean. I have no, I need more details.''I don't know, because last, I mean, Jannik [Sinner] and Carlos [Alcaraz] have been winning all the Grand Slams last years, you know. I don't think, I don't get it. I have no opinion then. I'm too stupid to answer that question,' Swiatek added.The ATP Tour has followed a familiar pattern this year, with no player managing to establish themselves as a consistently dominant presence. Rising talents like Jack Draper and Jakub Mensik have captured titles at some of the season's most significant events.advertisementThis unpredictability has led some tennis fans to draw parallels with the WTA Tour, where unexpected champions have become a common theme in recent years.While Draper won the Indian Wells Masters, beating Holger Rune in the final, Mensik got the better of 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic in the Miami Open final.As far as Swiatek is concerned, she will next be up against the USA's Coco Gauff in the semi-final at Madrid.Trending Reel

Genie Bouchard to retire from tennis after final National Bnak Open appearance
Genie Bouchard, who reached the Wimbledon final and two other Grand Slam semifinals in 2014, is retiring from tennis. The Canadian will play in the National Bank Open in Montreal later this month before ending her career, Tennis Canada said Wednesday. The organisation said Bouchard, 31, would be given a wild card into the tournament in her hometown. 'You'll know when it's time. For me, it's now,' Bouchard posted on social media, along with pictures of herself playing. 'Ending where it all started: Montreal.' ALSO READ: Sabalenka withdraws from Montreal tournament, opts for extra rest before US Open preparation Bouchard reached No. 5 in the WTA rankings and in 2014 won her lone singles title. She lost to Petra Kvitova in the Wimbledon final after also reaching the semifinals that year at the Australian Open and French Open. She got back to the quarterfinals in Australia in 2015, but her career was never the same after she slipped on a wet locker room floor at the U.S. Open later that year and suffered a concussion that forced her to withdraw before her fourth-round match. She sued the U.S. Tennis Association, and a jury found that the organisation was 75% at fault and she was 25% to blame. Bouchard helped Canada win its lone Billie Jean King Cup title in 2023 but has mostly switched to pickleball, playing just one match on tour this season. She has a career singles record of 299-230. 'She has been one of the most important figures in the history of our sport in Canada and a trailblazer who redefined what Canadian tennis could be,' said Valerie Tetreault, the National Bank Open tournament director. 'We are proud of everything she has done, as a player and role model, and we can't wait to see her in action one last time at IGA Stadium this summer.' Related Topics Genie Bouchard
