Iga Swiatek believes the WTA should continue to push for equality in the sport because women's tennis evokes the same emotions that men's tennis does.
Swiatek as the top player in the world is taking charge as a lead on the WTA Tour calling for many things to be improved, especially equality between the Tours. She feels that WTA tennis provides a good product because there are many great players who are playing great at most of the events:
“Right now, after a couple of years of hearing that we’re not consistent, we are actually consistent. There are many top players who are playing great on most of the tournaments. I think fans can choose their favorite and really cheer for us.”
A very in-tune person, Swiatek explained her vision on what should change for the WTA in order for it to grow even bigger:
“For sure I would like to see WTA kind of, I don’t know, expanding business-wise, getting more popular, kind of cutting the difference between WTA and ATP in terms of prize money differences, and also attracting fans as well. Our tennis bring the same emotions as men’s tennis, so I think there is something you can find in women’s tennis that you’re not going to find on the ATP."
She concluded with:
“There are many things I would like for the WTA to kind of explore and change. Maybe getting a nice place for the WTA Finals.”
