Iga Swiatek had a hilarious moment following her Beijing third-round win as the Pole literally "did not know what to write" on the camera lens before just dropping a signature and making her way out of the court.
Swiatek had a quick day at the office on Monday since she bageled Camila Osorio 6-0 before the Colombian walked to the net and retired due to a leg injury. In total, the Pole spent around 40 minutes on the court.
As you all know, top players traditionally sign the camera lens after their wins. But for some reason, the six-time Grand Slam champion had difficulty doing so after her Beijing third-round triumph. After grabbing the pen, the 24-year-old paused for a couple of seconds - evidently not knowing what to write - before remarking: I dont know what to write." In the end, she figured out to just put her signature.

Speaking with the media, Swiatek harshly criticized the WTA calendar once again. But this time, it was different because the former world No. 1 directly said she was ready to break some rules in the future.
"I don't think any top player will actually be able to achieve this, for example, playing the six 500 tournaments. It's just impossible to squeeze it in the schedule. I think we have to be smart about it, not really unfortunately care about the rules and just think what's healthy for us. Yeah, it's tough. The only thing I can do now, when I decided I'm going to play all these mandatory tournaments, is to just take care of my body, take care of the recovery," the reigning Wimbledon champion said.
