Azarenka and an impactful complaint about Swiatek during the match: "It's always the same story"
The WTA Bad Homburg 2025 was witness today to a high-profile duel. Two Grand Slam champions face to face... and a convincing debut for Iga Swiatek, who overcame Victoria Azarenka with a clear double 6-4. However, the highlight of the match came from the Belarusian, who, when she needed to hold on in the match and was 15-30 up, complained to the chair umpire about Iga's behavior: "It’s always the same story. As soon as she starts falling behind, she takes her time. More than the allowed time. And you don’t check on it. All the time." Iga responded with an ace and would go on to close out the match a couple of points later.

“Every time it’s the same story. As soon as she’s down in the game, she’s taking her time. Like over the time. And you’re not checking. Every time.”
