Iga Swiatek lost to Amanda Anisimova 7-6(3), 4-6, 2-6 in her WTA Finals 2025 match, which led to her exit from the tournament. After the loss, the WTA star claimed she played well and did not commit a lot of mistakes, and yet ended up losing. The Welsh wondered the reason behind her exit and felt she won many matches and tournament previously.
"It depends. But honestly, I did everything I could today, so, like, no regrets. I felt like, I mean, really, in the zone, like I I had, you know, a positive mindset. Okay, maybe some balls went short or something, but tennis is not like, it's not gonna be perfect," said Swiatek in the press conference.
"So like, I fought, and I really didn't give up. It wasn't enough, which makes me sad. But like, we all need to, like, find some understanding, I guess because when you do everything and it's still not enough, I guess it means that you just need to get your tennis better," Swiatek added.
While she accepted her loss, the star player wondered the possible reason behind it. She felt good physically, mentally, and added to have played a good game. Iga felt winning too much could have led to the law of averages catching up, leading to her loss.
"But I felt good mentally, physically and tennis wise. It was nice looking at the conditions and everything. So, so I don't really get why I couldn't go out of the group. I don't know, maybe I won too much in last year and this is karma," Iga added.
