Extra security for Swiatek after fan abuse in Miami
The Straits Times
|March 27, 2025
Polish world No. 2 Iga Swiatek has been given extra security after a spectator at the Miami Open verbally abused the five-time Grand Slam champion during a practice session last weekend, the BBC reported on March 26.
-
The man shouted personal insults about Swiatek's family and had previously sent abusive online messages to her through social media.
"The Miami incident appears to be a direct transition from verbal aggression online to harassment in the real world," Swiatek's representatives said. "He was aggressive and taunting."
The BBC said Swiatek's team reported the incident and that tournament organizers and the WTA put extra security measures in place around the Pole.
Meanwhile, world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka admitted she had to "work really hard", as she battled back in the second set to blast her way into the semi-finals with a 6-2, 7-5 win over China's Zheng Qinwen on March 25.
The victory sees the Belarusian in the last four in Miami for the first time, with a clash against Italy's Jasmine Paolini standing between her and a place in the final.
