Although this was already discussed at the end of the last Australian Open, the Media Day of Indian Wells 2026 has confirmed that the question about women playing five sets in the future is still active. Iga Swiatek is a woman who has always been against this idea but, just in case, the Pole reiterated her point of view last night.

"The world is getting faster, so I don't know if the public would like this, honestly. I also don't know if we could maintain the quality during five sets; it's a fact that men are physically stronger and can handle it better. Additionally, we have never trained with the idea of preparing for that, so we would have to change everything, our schedule as well because the Grand Slams would define our recovery time," shared the current World No. 2.
