Iga Świątek plans her calendar completely differently than her rivals from the top. Within a month, the Polish woman takes part in a small WTA tournament for the second time. Top 10 players don't play places like her. Why? And what can it end with? Świątek, next to Maria Sakkari, is the only tennis player from the top ten of the world ranking who has played in two tournaments in the WTA 250 series this season - the lowest category in the professional tour. On the grass in Bad Homburg she advanced to the semi-finals, and then finished her performance in Germany before Wimbledon, explaining that she had a temporary health condition. At Legia, she plays in the BNP Paribas Warsaw Open due to the Polish fans and the fact that the tournament is played in her hometown. It is also organized by a company related to her father Tomasz, which probably also influenced her decision. Does this plan work in sports? Considering how her most dangerous rivals work, Iga definitely stands out in this respect. Neither Aryna Sabalenka nor Jelena Rybakina planned any such start this season.
