Iga Świątek did it during a break between training sessions. She didn't escape the photographers

Iga Świątek has had a slightly more difficult time. The Polish player was unsuccessful in tournaments in Doha and Dubai, and in previous years she did very well there. Now the player from Raszyn is preparing to start in Indian Wells. Between training sessions, she found time to relax.

Iga Świątek is going through a rather difficult time in terms of sports, after accustoming many fans to her notoriously noted successes on the world stage. The Polish player has been eliminated from two WTA tournaments in a row. While many tennis players could envy such a result, in Świątek's case it is quite an unusual situation.

The Dubai tournament was supposed to be a chance for Świątek to get closer to Sabalenka. The player from Raszyn was eliminated from the competition in the United Arab Emirates in her third match. As a result, instead of decreasing, the Belarusian's advantage increased. Sabalenka is still in first place in the ranking, and Świątek is 1,091 points behind her biggest rival.

Now the 23-year-old is preparing to compete in the prestigious Indian Wells. She trains hard, but she also finds time to relax. It was during one of these moments that she went to an NBA game. She was caught on the big screen at a basketball game between the Golden State Warriors and the Charlotte Hornets. As soon as she appeared on the screen, she was greeted with thunderous applause.

Indian Wells will take place March 3-16.
