1 is quite dissatisfied with the fact that lighter balls are used during the US Open swing and that the tennis balls used in the men's and women's tours differ during this phase of the season. Swiatek compared today's gameplay on the women's tour to that of a decade ago to stress that players today have a much more powerful game, with the exception of Serena Williams who has always possessed a powerful style of play.

Swiatek further revealed that she is not the only WTA player who feels the same way and many of the others are Top-10 players. "I think those balls are horrible, especially after like three games of really hard play, they are getting more and more light," Swiatek said during a press conference at the Cincinnati Open.

I have heard many players actually complaining, as well." https://t.co/o3pK2lEbrh The North American hardcourt swing, including the US Open, is the only phase of the season that uses lighter tennis balls on the WTA tour, which means different balls are used by the ATP and WTA tours. While Swiatek poured her heart out on the issue and said that lighter tennis balls do not help powerful and hard-hitting players, tennis fans were divided in their opinion on the same.

twitter.com/Musab_Abid/sta… Swiatek further highlighted that players from 10-15 years ago played a lot slower and that a change was made from heavier to lighter balls due to players suffering from regular elbow injuries. She believes that change is the 'need of the hour' again in the US Open swing and called for a move back to the heavier balls on the WTA tour.

A third-round exit at Wimbledon snapped Iga Swiatek's 37-match streak, which was the biggest winning run on the WTA tour since the turn of the century. While the reigning French Open champion has never made it past the fourth round at the US Open, she will enter the New York Grand Slam this year as one of the favorites.
