It is a topic that has been discussed for several seasons now, but it continues to be an important factor in every tournament. After winning in the first round of the WTA Cincinnati 2025 against Potapova, Iga Swiatek talked about the issue of the balls: "I try to be humble and remember that you have to adapt to these balls because they do not give you any advantage on their own. They are light and very different from the ones we play with on clay or at Wimbledon, the only way to face them is to focus on adapting as much as possible and accept that there will be shots that escape from your racket, trying to control them as much as possible," said the Polish player, as reported by Ubitennis.
