‘I don’t get why women use different balls than men’ - Iga Swiatek slams ‘horrible’ US Open tennis ball rules
Iga Swiatek has hit out at US Open organisers for using different tennis balls to the men which she claims “many players” have complained about. The US Open is the only Grand Slam where two different types of balls are used for the men’s and women’s tournaments, with the latter using lighter balls. Ad This could be a disadvantage to the harder-hitting players and Swiatek has called on equality in terms of the balls that should be used.
