Umpires need to start doing their job so she stops doing this sh*t - Tennis fans slam Iga Swiatek for her distracting gestures during San Diego Open final against Donna Vekic

Donna Vekic (L) and Iga Swiatek On Sunday, lifted her eighth title of 2022 and 11th overall as she defeated Croatia's 6-3, 3-6, 6-0 to clinch the San Diego Open. But there was one seemingly unsavory moment during the match that caused some controversy among fans on social media. This was the third meeting between the two players, with Swiatek leading 2-0 in the head-to-head going in. With the win, the Pole has now improved her win-loss record for the season to a dreamlike 64-8. On her way to glory, Swiatek also beat the likes of Qinwen Zheng, and . Vekic herself maintained an extremely high level throughout the week. She won two qualifying matches before prevailing over players like fifth seed Maria Sakkari, former Slam finalist Karolina Pliskova, third seed Aryna Sabalenka and 2022 Australian Open runner-up Danielle Collins. There was a brief moment of controversy in the second set though. When Vekic had her only break point of the match at 3-2, 15-40, both players played an astonishing point, which the 47th-ranked Croatian eventually won. But at one stage during the rally, after returning a shot at the net, Swiatek put both her hands in the air, compelling fans to think that she was trying to distract her opponent. The act didn't go down well with the tennis faithful on Twitter, with fans demanding that any player indulging in such acts should be given warnings and even penalized. "I really don’t care what Iga fans think, this is clear and blatant hindrance and is extremely poor gamesmanship. I don’t wanna hear any “but it’s not in the rules” excuse, bc even if it’s not, it’s literally waving arms to distract the opponent so they miss. Like just play tennis," a fan tweeted.
