“Don’t Know Why They Hate Iga Swiatek So Much” – Fans Call Out Daniela Hantuchova Over Explosive Claims About Pole & Her Team

Tennis fans have rallied in defense of Iga Świątek following controversial remarks made by Daniela Hantuchová about the Polish star and her team during the 2025 Madrid Open. Hantuchová, speaking on a Czech podcast, criticized Świątek for bringing her laundry to be washed and questioned the appropriateness of the request.

She also took issue with Świątek’s mental coach, Daria Abramowicz, for asking for warm chicken during a power outage that disrupted play. The comments sparked backlash on social media, with supporters pointing out Świątek’s personal struggles, including attending her grandfather’s funeral shortly after the tournament began.

Meanwhile, Świątek continues to perform strongly on the court, reaching the quarterfinals of the Wuhan Open after defeating Ashlyn Krueger in a match that marked her 150th WTA 1000-level victory. She reflected on her progress, emphasizing her focus on recovery and improvement as the season winds down, while also expressing satisfaction with her recent form and quarterfinal advancement.
