They emphasized how much animosity Swiatek receives every time she acts in such a way and yet Fokina's behavior is completely disregarded and not even questioned."Btw I was thinking ofc how a certain female player would get demonized for doing this same thing, articles would be written all over the world, entire podcast segments about it, cheater accusations, etc etc etc," one fan wrote.JI@juanignacio_acBtw I was thinking ofc how a certain female player would get demonized for doing this same thing, articles would be written all over the world, entire podcast segments about it, cheater accusations, etc etc etc402Btw I was thinking ofc how a certain female player would get demonized for doing this same thing, articles would be written all over the world, entire podcast segments about it, cheater accusations, etc etc etc"If Iga did that twitter clowns would s**t themselves," another fan tweeted.cade@scuder1GAif iga did that twitter clowns would sh*t themselves twitter.com/TennisTV/statu…Tennis TV@TennisTVWorth a try @alexdavidovich1 #RolexParisMasters418Worth a try 😂@alexdavidovich1 #RolexParisMasters https://t.co/xfsI56sUniif iga did that twitter clowns would sh*t themselves twitter.com/TennisTV/statu…"Oh I bet if that was Iga everyone would already be ready for a witchhunt, its not Iga: look how funny," another account posted.Doris@Dorli_Wi@TennisTV @alexdavidovich1 Oh i bet if that was Iga everyone would already be ready for a witchhunt, its not Iga: look how funny212@TennisTV @alexdavidovich1 Oh i bet if that was Iga everyone would already be ready for a witchhunt, its not Iga: look how funnyHere are a few more reactions from fans:Obi Wan Kenobi@k_lb_k@TennisTV @alexdavidovich1 As @aniafajna wrote: if iga has done it, she would have started WWIII101@TennisTV @alexdavidovich1 As @aniafajna wrote: if iga has done it, she would have started WWIII𝔸𝕟𝕟𝕒 🍂🍁@Ana_SzC@TennisTV @alexdavidovich1 So if others do it, it's funny and if it's Iga it's a crime.

The Croatian eventually won the point to grab a critical lead, which helped her win the second set 6-3. Some fans, however, weren't pleased with Swiatek's behavior, criticizing her for repeatedly using such distracting tactics.In light of this, Swiatek revealed in a recent interview that she instantly apologized to Vekic, adding that the Croat barely remembered the incident. The World No. 1, therefore, hoped that fans would understand that she had no ill-intention and that it was just an instinctive reaction on her part."Immediately after the game, I went up to Donna and said I apologized to her for that. Donna had no grudges, it turned out that she did not remember it at all," Iga Swiatek said. "I hope the fans will understand that too. I know that there were a lot of negative comments about this on the Internet. I'm not proud of the fact that there are things on the court that I sometimes don't control. This is instinctive behavior," she added.
