Iga Świątek laughed, then suddenly blurted out, "The coach won't be pleased."
Rains in Seoul are making things difficult for tennis players, who are having to deal with postponements and cancellations. The Polish-Czech match was originally scheduled for Friday, but for the aforementioned reasons, it was moved to Saturday. The Raszynian had the opportunity to participate in activities planned by the tournament organizers and sampled several local delicacies.
First, Iga Światek was given roasted almonds coated in a butter-honey "crust" for testing, which she really liked. "I'm taking them with me," she revealed to the camera, giving the delicacy a 9.
The next item was thin chocolate-covered sticks, which Świątek was already familiar with and gave them 10 points before even trying them. Later, she was served mini cookies resembling the popular Oreo marshmallows, which she also loved. "This cream makes them wonderful," the WTA runner-up admitted, awarding them 10 points.
"My fitness coach [Maciej Ryszczuk — editor's note] won't be happy that I ate so many sweets. I haven't eaten that many in the last two weeks. Thank you for keeping me in good shape," the Pole remarked before receiving more sweets. The last cookie with filling, however, didn't win her heart, as it had a layer of marshmallows, of which she's not a fan, hence she gave it a mere 6 points out of 10.
