The current World No. 1 is quite dissatisfied with the fact that lighter balls are used during the US Open swing and that the tennis balls used in the men's and women's tours differ during this phase of the season. Swiatek compared today's gameplay on the women's tour to that of a decade ago to stress that players today have a much more powerful game, with the exception of Serena Williams who has always possessed a powerful style of play. Swiatek further revealed that she is not the only WTA player who feels the same way and many of the others are Top-10 players. "I think those balls are horrible, especially after like three games of really hard play, they are getting more and more light," Swiatek said during a press conference at the Cincinnati Open. "They fly like crazy. We have really powerful games right now. It's not like 10 years ago when I think girls, except Serena, played slower. I know that there are players who complain, and many of them are top 10." Musab@Musab_AbidIga Swiatek doesn't like the fact that the US Open series is played with lighter balls, or that there's a difference in the balls used for men's tennis and women's tennis."Honestly, I don't like them. I have heard many players actually complaining, as well."39464Iga Swiatek doesn't like the fact that the US Open series is played with lighter balls, or that there's a difference in the balls used for men's tennis and women's tennis."Honestly, I don't like them. I have heard many players actually complaining, as well." https://t.co/o3pK2lEbrh The North American hardcourt swing, including the US Open, is the only phase of the season that uses lighter tennis balls on the WTA tour, which means different balls are used by the ATP and WTA tours. While Swiatek poured her heart out on the issue and said that lighter tennis balls do not help powerful and hard-hitting players, tennis fans were divided in their opinion on the same. One fan said that he doesn't see why the World No. 1 was making a fuss. "Serena won so many USO titles, has the most powerful serve. She never complained. What's the fuss? Get on with the game," one fan wrote. MILLTAN@milltannie@eurosport @iga_swiatek Serena won so many USO titles, has the most powerful serve. She never complained. What's the fuss?

Weird. twitter.com/Musab_Abid/sta… Swiatek further highlighted that players from 10-15 years ago played a lot slower and that a change was made from heavier to lighter balls due to players suffering from regular elbow injuries. She believes that change is the 'need of the hour' again in the US Open swing and called for a move back to the heavier balls on the WTA tour.

It's terrible and maybe lighter balls should be used all year long if that means we get rid of this baseline power era. I take more variability any day over players who just overpower opponents.@Musab_Abid Ironic that she seems to think baseline big hitters are "visually nice to watch".

The Polish superstar defeated 2017 US Open champion Sloane Stephens 6-4, 7-5 to kickstart her Western & Southern Open campaign. She will next face 2017 US Open finalist Madison Keys in the Round of 16. Swiatek, who registered an incredible 37-match winning streak earlier this year, has been going through a bit of a lean patch of late. The 21-year-old lost to eventual finalist Beatriz Haddad Maia at last week's Canadian Open. Earlier, she lost in the quarterfinals of the Poland Open to Caroline Garcia. A third-round exit at Wimbledon snapped Iga Swiatek's 37-match streak, which was the biggest winning run on the WTA tour since the turn of the century. While the reigning French Open champion has never made it past the fourth round at the US Open, she will enter the New York Grand Slam this year as one of the favorites.
