Iga Swiatek has been unimpressed with the crowds at the WTA Finals with the world No 1 having progressed to the last four.
World No. 1 Iga Swiatek has slammed the crowds at the WTA Finals, following a number of poor turn outs in the competition so far. It has been an impressive start for Swiatek, after kicking off her tournament with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Russia’s Daria Kasatkina.
She then followed this up with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over France’s Caroline Garcia to keep her 100% record in the group stage. Despite Swiatek and the rest of the world’s best on show, the event in Texas has failed to attract the crowds it was expected to.
When Swiatek took on Kasatkina in her opening match, the 14,000 Dickies Arena was barely full, with empty seats occupying most of the spectator area. As a result, following the match the world No. 1 seemingly called for crowd numbers to improve.
She said post-match: “Hopefully, we’re gonna see a full house soon. But yeah, we’ll see,” She then went on: “I’m really looking forward to it because I like taking energy from the crowd.”
