Swiatek was booed by the crowd for saying the wrong thing in the post-match interview! The Poles immediately issued an apology

Yesterday, Swiatek was booed during an on-field interview at the Rod Laver Stadium. The tournament's second seed comfortably defeated Slovakia's Rebecca Slankova 6-0 6-2 in the second round of the Australian Open to advance to the round of 32.



However, there was a slight hiccup in the Polish player's on-court interview with Dokic. Knowing that Swiatek was a coffee lover, Dokic asked her about her favorite type of coffee. Swiatek replied that she found Sydney's coffee to be better than Melbourne's. Hearing this answer, the audience booed.


"Oh, I gotta say, I found a better coffee shop in Sydney?" Swiatek said in an on-court interview. Hearing this, the audience immediately began to boo her. Swiatek deftly reassured the audience, explaining that he hadn't done enough research to make a conclusion about Australian coffee. However, she made it clear that she loves Australian coffee.


"But no, no, guys, the truth is that for me it's hard to sleep well during the Grand Slams, so I have to reduce my coffee intake a little bit and I'll only drink a little bit before the match. So I didn't do enough research and I'm sorry for my answer. But overall, I think it's hard to get bad coffee in Australia, you know, every coffee shop maintains a high level of quality. Swiatek added.


Swiatek also revealed that her favourite coffee is "flat white with oat milk".



With this victory, Swiatek will face another Grand Slam champion in the next round - Raducanu. This will be the fourth time the two have met, with Swiatek coming out on top in each of the previous three meetings and this will be the focus of the battle between the two top players.


In addition, the 2025 Australian Open set a precedent in some areas, such as tournament organizers allowing players' coaches to coach on the sidelines. The move is designed to enhance the interaction between players and the team, while also providing more spectacle for spectators, and Swiatek supports the change. The Polish believes it is up to the individual player whether or not to take advantage of the new measure. However, for her, she felt that the change was advantageous because she could communicate with her coach during the game.



Interestingly, at a press conference after the second round on Thursday, Swiatek was asked what the most embarrassing thing he had done on the pitch. The world No. 2 said: "Well, I've cried a lot and yes, it's a little embarrassing. I remember one game where I cried for about 10 minutes. I think some of you here may remember that I couldn't play tennis at all. Also, one time when I was out at Indian Wells, I had a piece of toilet paper stuck to my skirt, so it was embarrassing too. ”



Swiatek also spoke about the struggles she experienced in 2024, revealing the pressure she has experienced in her career and how she felt when she signed her first big sponsor, "I think I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself. I remember, when I got my first sponsor for my first game, I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I've signed this sponsor now, and they want me to succeed'. I cried all day because I felt like I had let them down, and if I lost, why did they invest so much money in me? ”(Source: Tennis Home Author: Spark)
