Women always have to do more to get recognition and even if they do they may not get it - Tennis fans fuming as Carlos Alcaraz gets picked over Iga Swiatek in TIME100 Next list

By Parag Jain Modified 29 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Carlos Alcaraz (L) and Iga Swiatek The 2022 US Open singles champions Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz are two of the biggest stars who have established themselves at a young age and have enjoyed unparalleled success this season. While the World No. 1 Pole has won as many as seven WTA singles titles, including two Grand Slams and four WTA 1000 events this season, she has also broken Venus Williams' streak of 35 consecutive match-wins, winning 37. The 19-year-old Spaniard became the youngest-ever ATP World No.1 when he downed Casper Ruud in the US Open title clash earlier this month. He won four titles earlier in the year, including two Masters 1000 tournaments in Miami and Madrid. The Spaniard recently tweeted to reveal that he has been named in the 2022 TIME100 Next list, a list in which TIME includes 1000 rising stars from across industries around the world. While it was a proud moment for the tennis world to see Alcaraz's name on the elite list, some fans expressed their disappointment, arguing that Swiatek deserved it more than him. "No offense to Carlos but the way women always have to do more to get recognition and even if they do, they may not get it. Iga had historical season for what?," a fan tweeted.

Pro Tennis Takes@popoftennis@azrathearcher Iga is great, but she hasn’t broken through to the general American public.

Tushar Nagananda@nascentnaga@azrathearcher 1ga does deserve more hype but Alcaraz nuked this season with 2 masters titles a slam and #1 from nowhere in the rankings.

In particular, his Madrid run blew my mind.

I will definitely let them know about my dissatisfaction - Iga Swiatek on scheduling of WTA Finals and Billie Jean King Cup

Iga Swiatek unhappy with tournaments scheduling Scheduled to be played in Dallas, Texas, this year, the WTA Finals will see eight players compete against each other from October 31 to November 7. However, the prestigious Billie Jean King Cup is scheduled from November 8 to 13, making World No. 1 Iga Swiatek unhappy with the scheduling. Speaking to Gazeta, the Polish media house, the 21-year-old stated that although she understood the complexities of scheduling events, she was still dissatisfied. "I am dissatisfied, although I know that arranging everything is complicated. Certainly the fact that the WTA and ITF federations in a sense did not cooperate to facilitate our task is irritating to me. I will definitely take steps to let them know about my dissatisfaction," Iga Swiatek said. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Keshav Gopalan × Feedback Thank You!
