Tennis - Roland-Garros 2024 - Iga Swiatek : “I'm not trying to alienate the French public” 

I was watching the match at Philippe Chatrier today and Iga is absolutely right with her statement, There were group of the kids behind me keep yelling and even on the other side and from toward the above stadium there were another "group of the kids" keep disturbed the match....... I means every respectful crowd and security tried to let them quiet but unfortunately they were not taught well by their parents how to respect the player and the game. it's was extremely annoying but I'm glad that Iga got over this tough match and situation also so happy to see Osaka played her best on clay surface against champ Iga.

It's very good that Iga made a clear statement about some fan behaviour; not just at the French Open, also at Monte Carlo and Rome, especially the night time matches draw very loud young guys who might mistake a tennis court for a soccer field.

Iga mentality in this match was really impressive. So much admiration ❤❤❤❤

Incredible mental strength, congratulations Iga 👏

This is how you recognize real champions, win the match when the game is not going well...

Rafa mentality. Rafa and Iga Humble. Alcaraz is also a humble young man.

GOAT. Congrats on your mental strength. Go 1ga!

What a match, Osaka has so much to take away from this and be proud of.

Osaka threw in the kitchen sink and Iga withstood all that power from Osaka. Naturally, Iga is susceptible to women who hit harder than her - Ostapenko, Rybakina, Sabalenka, and now, Osaka. She wins by withstanding their winners and just keeps counterpunching and giving her opponents an opportunity to make a mistake. And she is mentally tougher than all of them.

Iga’s mental won this match! She stayed so solid because Osaka was firing shots.

I respect you Iga. After winning she was not showing any emotions coz she knew she pulled the win from Osaka. N she felt how Osaka would feel. So she just turned to her team put the racket up and run to the net hugging Naomi. In other words to comfort her.

Great for Iga! She knows that "discipline is freedom"!

The power Osaka has is amazing. She really can smash that ball into submission. But happy lga won, was a Great Match with some spectacular rallies where IGA showed how solid she is under pressure.

Yes, root for your favorite player, but don't disrupt play. Athletes have every right to address unruly fan behavior. Honestly, the French crowd can be extremely obnoxious. I think Iga's considerable accomplishments are worthy of respect, not ridicule by a bunch of thoughtless rowdies.

JAZDA!!! 🇵🇱 Beautiful IGA! PROCESS and INSTINCTS! Keep living in the moment!

Congratulations Iga!!!!!

Iga, You've got the heart of a tiger. Congrats!

TRUE CHAMPION.Losing or winning is a part of the game..But the right attitude matters most. NO 1 in all aspects..

Iga hit the nail on the head her last press conference after the first round when she said that when facing these former grand slam champions they have belief that other players don’t have. Naomi definitely had that today. She of course didn’t cross the finish line but you could tell she thought she’d win.

This really separates top players from the mediocre ones. Mental strength sometimes is the key. I really thought that was it for her.

Incredible match. Congrats.

Que partidazoo Iga sos lo más en tus momentos difíciles sacaste tu temperamento y te llevaste el partido !! IGA a la finall❤

Iga is unfailingly gracious in victory or defeat. In her match against Naomi Osaka, Iga demonstrated Herculean courage, skill, and resilience. As the dominant World Number 1 and overwhelming favorite to win the French Open, she has enormous and continual pressure on her shoulders. Her consistency and grace under duress are rare and admirable.

I like about Iga her genuine honesty and respect while talking with the jurnalists

Great mental strength by Iga. Another thriller causing cardiac events amongst her fans... 😱 It was a fantastic play by Naomi and somewhat substandard by Iga standards, yet she prevailed! That's a sign of true champion! Congrats and good luck! Jazda!

People hate winners, they're jealous simple as. go Iga

Well done 1ga! ❤

7:20 what an asshole question about her loss in AO after a difficult win against Collins in the previous match. Are they trying some mental games on her asking such questions? Oh you lost then so maybe you're gonna lose now too? Maybe think about it more before your next game. How annoying.

Iga to co zrobilas w meczu z Naomi jest lotem na kosmos.Przegrywac 2-5 przy stanie 0-30 i wygrac set 7-5,tak potrafi tylko 1GA❤️💪

QUEEN OF CLAY ❤

The World Queen of Tennis! 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱

Incredible performance to both players, this was a high quality match I’ve seen in a long time, to be honest, it is true that there can only be one winner, to Osaka: you are back on track after your maternity leave, can’t wait to see you winning again, keep it up champion 👏👏♥️♥️🙏. To Iga: i can’t stop watching your matches, thanks for putting women tennis 🎾 up there, wishing you all the best throughout the tournament and beyond 🎉🎉❤❤🙏💪

Congratulations Iga 😍

Estuvo buenisimo el partido!!, que barbaras las 2!!!, en un momento pense que Iga no se iba a recuperar pero que gran sorpresa verla mas madura y fuerte mentalmente, partidazo se aventaron las dos, IGA, sigue asi!!!!!

I just love this young lady full of humility. Not hyped and show off twirling and wheeling like gig. Keep being yourself. God don't like Ugly.

Finger nails of Iga's fans might have gone today, more so like those of Ons'. A legendary match is added in history. Also, due credit to Naomi who pushed her so hard on clay! If Iga defends her title successfully, this should virtually be the final!

Congrats, Iga! You're my hero!❤

Real Champion ❤

Iga win it all !!! You are the best

She is so classy and humble.

Winning close matches even when you are not in top form is the sign of a champion.

Iga jesteś wielka. To co zrobiłaś w trzecim secie to mistrzostwo. Mentalność, opanowanie i powrót, wstałaś jak feniks. Myśl, że wszyscy powinni pamiętać, że wygrałaś Madryt i Rzym. Inne zawodniczki miały wiecej czasu na odpoczynek. Do poprawy koniecznie serwis, ponieważ Naomi pokazała jak można zdobyć sporo punktów z serwisu. Była bardzo dobrze przygotowana, ale poradziłaś sobie. Dostarczasz tyle pozytywnych emocji. Życzę Ci wygranej w Paryżu. 👏 ❤ 👏 ❤🇵🇱

Frenchie fans are a disaster, glad she called them out like Goffin

The french fans havn't behaiviour! Congrats Iga. ❤

Awesome comeback!

Queen of clay ❤❤❤ congrats Iga

What a match. I knew Osaka was going to be tough. Iga was just a bit tougher. Awesome!!!

Im happy such an awesome fighter is on top of the WTA and there are many other great exciting players on top. Good times.

Gotta love Iga ♥️ Even though 'I" was crushed that Osaka didn't get the W the respect that both players have for each other is really inspiring and will bring many to the sport and get alot of young girls to pick up a tennis racket 🙂

Nadal, Federer, Novak never complained about crowd noise... Iga whines about fans supporting opponents... She bites the hands that feed her... #IgaTheWhiner.

I don't think 1GA criticised French crowd - she politely explained her point of view and asked them to try to understand it and respect it as she respects them. Davenport wrote it was unnecessary but which player likes being distracted by the noisy crowd? Nobody, so Davenport as a former professional presents some nonsensical opinion - basically says to players - just shut up and let the crow do whatever... It is not constructive, it has no logic - it is Davenport's attention seeking. Players who can focus properly play better tennis than when distracted so the spectacle for the viewers is better this way. Therefore 1GA's comment was beneficiall for both sides - the players and the public.

I've never seen a stats line where the loser won every main category! Osaka had 54 winners to Iga's 37. 8 Aces to 0, 5 breaks to 3, 114 total points to 109 for Iga.

"...in tennis we're used to, you know, the stadium being silent during the point..." Welcome to Roland Garros, Iga. You are not getting silence from the French tennis fans. And no! No additional rules will be implemented to try and keep the French tennis fans more quiet. That's not going to happen. And instead of complaining about it, revel in it! I love the French fans at Roland Garros.

Iga, please give pay roll hike to ur psychologist. She deserves it. Since men's tennis became kind of boring for finishing goat era, Osaka, Iga please give us more thrilling matches like these, remind us Goat era tennis.

She's an amazing person, so polite. All respect for her!

Tough for IGA... congratulations 🎉🎉

You did a remarkable job coming from behind. No doubt Osaka kept you uncomfortable and " for sure" you will learn from this match. She had 8 aces while you have none. Hope you realize by now their advantages in crucial situations to hold serves. She has flat groundstrokes like Elena that give you problems. Spending more time improving your service games to match against power hitters like Naomi Elena and Sabalenka will pay dividends "FOR SURE"

Strong Iga😍😍😍😍😍

againts a player like that Iga has to improve her service game

I totally agree with her. A respectful and understanding audience should keep their mouths shut during play.

Rafa mentality 💪

If you interview Iga why not try talking about Iga there's a thought

RG public isn't harsh at all compared with Wimbledon. It took Novak 6 GS at Wimbledon to start to get some respect from the audience.

Fuerza física y mental, Iga👏👏👏

Normally I never watch Iga's interviews any more until I saw the headline about what she said to the crowd. She doesn't mention anything about the really noisy players on court and you know who I'm talking about who make the game unbearable to watch as a fan. I didn't like the comment about the money but as long as the crowd aren't abusing players they should be allowed to cheer, remember the fans are the reason you get paid and get sponsorship.

Iga gratulacje powodzenia dalej zrobiłaś coś niezwykłego.. Brawa dla Naomi 🎾👋🎈🎾👋🎈🎾👋🎈😎🇵🇱🖐️

Congratulations IGA ❤️🇵🇱👏

Thank you Iga. You have strong mental and are so tenicious. I'm proud of you.

Iga’s great. Her speech cautioning the crowd after the match was “heat of the moment”. They might wish to let these women cool down before direct interviews. But also it shows that the women are not playing regularly to big, involved crowds, and a good-size crowd is surprising even to Iga. Attendance is very low for womens tennis most everywhere. Too bad. When there is finally a good crowd, all players must deal with the noises of paying customers, to some extent.

Iga didn't have a problem with the French crowd when she won her 3 grand slam titles. Matter of fact she was encouraging it by putting her hands to her ear. Iga had a problem with this SAME crowd because MOST was cheering Naomi Osaka on and now, Iga wants the WHOLE stadium to be quiet, including the parking lot. She's a piece of WORK.

Felicidades Iga. ❤❤❤ Gracias por decir las cosas claras, porque quiénes vemos el partido en TV nos sentimos molestos por el ruido con la pelota en juego. Y los comentaristas que hablan durante el punto, honestamente es odioso. No nos dejan disfrutar de vuestro juego

IGA IS THE BEST! 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱

Why do the public have to sit still and be very quiet in tennis? In badminton the crowd is loud and theplayers love it. Us open when Fernandez played, she fired up the crowd and we all loved it. Sabalenka and Ass(z)arenka screm like geeze very loud, but nonononono, the crowd must be very quiet and sit still, so this spoiled brat can focus on her tennis.

Bravo bébé ! ... mais tu as eu chaud, là ! ;-)

Wow!! What a champ you are Iga. Congrats for having gone thru that an intense match.

This girl has balls of steel.

Jazda Iga!

Colossal match, worthy of a final. This was a real mental test for Iga and she came through it like a champion should. Also, brave of her to address the crowd. Only maybe her and Rafa could do that and have applause after. Love the direction this young woman is going in...

Great concentration. To win a great match. Congratulations

Iga Incredibile 😊

Keep going IGA 💪 always with you ❤

Continue comme ça Iga Świątek, nous sommes avec toi !

1GA IS THE BEST ON CLAY COURT..

The heart of the lion. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

Night matches at Roland-Garros are a tragedy anyway.

❤❤❤Iga❤❤❤

What a player. Love her honesty as well

Dear Mademoiselle Swiatek - please be so kind and switch your mindset earlier next time - many thanks & greetings from hospital...

Sono innamorato di iga 🌹❤

It's a shame that Iga brought money into this.

Intense match!

Bravo ❤ incroyable ce match , le plus beau de cette première semaine tes ressources mentales sont exceptionnelles à vous deux vous nous avez délivré une prestation hors du commun bon vent à Osaka et bon second tour tu es sur la bonne voie ce match était digne d une finale 😅🎾👌

'..frustrated when the ball was flying to me..' -Swaitek's comments should be rather addressed to Sabalenka who shouts when serving every time 'when the ball is flying' and much lauder than the public. Swatek discriminates against french tennis spectators.

JAZDA!!! 🇵🇱

Getting into tennis and swiatek is reall good man damn!

Congratulations Iga, many thanks from Stegny in Warsaw😊

JEZU UFAM TOBIE proszę o uzdrowienie Tatusia

If you ever want to put a statement just don't undermine it with a stupid disclaimer that took about 90% time she tried to tell simple stuff: shut up when point is played.

she's gonna be GOAT for sure! Go western grip W-.-W

OMG Iga, you sound like you really lost today, feith in yourself, still a lot to learn, but it's true, lost is a great lesson, fingers crossed for loosing appetite for sweeties 😅😘
