Iga Świątek has an unusual obsession. At Wimbledon, everything was revealed

We love Iga Świątek not only for her undeniable talent for playing tennis, but also for her… disarming honesty. After the last match, during which the Polish tennis player defeated the Russian Polina Kudermetova, Iga received an uncomfortable question about… towels.

Iga Świątek is not only our sporting national treasure, but also a good source of… memes.

The tennis player, who has already defeated Polina Kudermetova , Catherine McNally , Danielle Collins and Clara Tauson in the English tournament, will face Lyudmila Samsonova tomorrow (Wednesday July) in a clash for the Wimbledon semi-finals. It is worth keeping our fingers crossed, because if she succeeds, it will be her best result in the famous tournament.

However, everyone remembers Iga's first match at Wimbledon , where she faced Kudiermietova . During the press conference after this match, the main topic turned out to be not the game itself, but... towels .

- How many towels did you put in your bag? I don't know how many fit, but I think it was about six? – the sportswoman heard.

Apparently, the question slightly embarrassed Iga Świątek and as she herself admitted, it is a topic that… no one ever talks about. The first Polish racket admits that she loves the towels that competitors receive during competitions.

She adds that every time she returns from a Grand Slam, her friends and family… ask about her famous souvenirs.

- Sorry Wimbledon . I don't know if I should do it at all - admitted Świątek , which caused a burst of laughter among the fans.

Iga Świątek admitted in an interview that she gives most of the towels she collects to her loved ones, but… she also has quite a few of them in her collection.

- If I have to play for another 15 years, I can't even imagine it. I think I'll have to build an extra room in my house just for the towels from the Grand Slam tournaments - she joked.

Let us remind you that tomorrow at 2:00 PM Iga Świątek will play Ludmiła Samsonova in the quarter-finals of the tournament, so after the match she will be able to get more towels. However, journalists from Przegląd Sportowy assure us that you can buy exactly the same ones in the Wimbledon gadget shop.

Price? 40 pounds, or about 200 zlotys.
