There are beginning to be signs of great concern in tennis and the mindset of a Iga Swiatek who has hit rock bottom. Even in her darkest moments last year, the Pole was able to advance to quarterfinals or semifinals: today, at Miami Open 2026, she fell at the first hurdle against a fellow countrywoman whom she knows very well. It was Magda Linette who delivered the big blow, defeating the world number three (1-6, 7-5, 6-3), all this after suffering a tough 1-6 in the initial set and following two consecutive victories over Iga. Stripped of her identity completely and feeling no joy on the court, this defeat may be the hardest in recent times for a Swiatek who will now have several weeks to rest and reflect on her situation.
