After the WTA year-end finals signing table, which is about to start on the 31st, saw the world No. 1 Swiatek and Garcia, Gauff, and Kasakina in a group, the first reaction of the outside world was that in addition to Garcia may cause some trouble for the world No. 1, the rest of the people can hardly stop Swiatek's progress, and there is no problem in qualifying for the top of the group.
In the optimism of the outside world, the world's No. 1 Swiatek was not idle, in order to make himself feel at ease in the next match, finally broke the silence, explained to the outside world for the first time the reason for the huge negative controversy surrounding him in the San Diego final, hoping to calm everything down, not disturb each other, and then go all out to attack the 9th crown of the year.
After the WTA 500 San Diego final, it is estimated that Swiatek herself did not expect that although she won the championship in the end, the strong attention from the outside world was not that she won the eighth title of the season, but because of her "arm dance" action when competing with her opponent Vikich in the final for that crucial point.
The reason why this action later caused public opinion to get out of control and pushed Swiatek to the forefront of the storm is due to two reasons: First, many people think that Swiatek's action frightened Vikki, and then affected her later play, so that Swiatek finally had the opportunity to take advantage of the championship; Second, when tennis star McEnroe talked about Swiatek's move, after criticizing, he described the world number one as a "conspirator".
When the situation first expanded, the outside world thought that Swiatek would explain to public opinion the cause and effect of the entire incident at the first time, and why he made this action at that critical moment. Regrettably, Swiatek has been silent on this matter, so that public opinion began to speculate that this is the deliberate behavior of the world's number one, otherwise why has he been silent?
Just when everyone thought that Swiatek was too lazy to pay attention to this matter, and just wanted to devote himself to the preparation for the WTA year-end finals, and let the outside world casually comment on this matter, before the year-end finals began, Swiatek finally spoke about it in an exclusive interview with Sport.pl.
"I couldn't control that action, it was a completely involuntary reaction." When they heard Swiatek say these words from his mouth, the world's No. 1 fans finally let out a breath, which was indeed an unconscious action of Swiatek as they had guessed beforehand. This also shows from another side that Swiatek really can't play any conspiracy for a 500-level champion when he has won almost all over the world this year.
After explaining why she did the arm-waving gesture, Swiatek also stressed that she assured that such a thing would not happen again, "We are working on this problem." ”
It seems that when this matter continues to ferment through public opinion and becomes more and more troublesome, Swiatek did not choose to ignore this matter, should have always paid attention to the trend of public opinion, otherwise he would not choose to clarify the truth to the outside world at this time, let alone treat it as a big matter with the team, and prepare to use a more effective method to completely solve it, so as not to cause unnecessary public opinion criticism.
In addition, after Swiatek showed her attitude and determination, she also revealed to the outside that after the game, she herself realized that the arm waving action was somewhat indecent, and had walked to Wikich's side for the first time and apologized to her, afraid that this incident would make her have some strange thoughts in her heart.
"Vecchi didn't feel as uncomfortable as the outside world speculated, or affected her, in fact, she doesn't remember it anymore, I hope everyone can understand me more." Swiatek said.
In fact, Swiatek's arm-waving move was not a move she did when she faced Vecic in the San Diego final, and the world number one said that this action she also appeared during the US Open, and she really did not expect to cause such a big negative impact in San Diego in the end.
"Sometimes I can't control my behaviour on the pitch, it's purely an instinctive reaction. Maybe I've watched too many football games and noticed how the goalkeeper behaves on penalties. Swiatek blames himself for watching too many football games as he keeps waving his arms.
Now that this matter is officially explained in detail by Swiatek, it is unknown whether it will immediately eliminate the influence of public opinion from the outside world, but one thing is certain that the Polish girl who is about to appear on the stage of the WTA year-end finals will feel much easier because of this matter, and it will reduce a lot of her worries, such as some fans maliciously creating incidents with this matter, or being repeatedly questioned by the media. Because everything that should be said has been said, apologies have been made, and then stared at it, it seems that there is a suspicion that there is nothing to do, and there will definitely be more public opinion voices choosing to support the world's first.
