Iga Swiatek is already in the quarterfinals of the US Open 2025 after a comfortable victory over Alexandrova, and in the subsequent press conference, she faced some curious questions. When asked about the issue that arose in the stands regarding a tussle between a child who wanted Machrzak's cap and a millionaire adult who snatched it without hesitation, Iga made a lighthearted comment. "I always try to give directly what is asked to the person I want to have it, I try to be fair, I don't choose randomly. When I give something to a child and an adult takes it, I call them out on it. It's not unusual that the younger ones want items from us. As a child, I would have wanted a sweaty towel from Nadal," she said, chuckling.
