Iga Swiatek found herself in the center of criticism after sharing a video of her unusual training session, carrying a water-filled bag. Fans questioned the advantages of the training while the Pole is looking to overcome her disappointing spell on the court this season.

Swiatek has not won a single title this year. Her runs at the French Open and Wimbledon were concluded after the fourth and third rounds, respectively. Amid a series of her underwhelming performances, Swiatek was seen holding a water bag on her upper back during her recent training session and running splits on the court.

However, her unconventional training method received a huge backlash from fans, who highlighted the contrast between her intense workouts and poor results. One of the fans shared a video of her training session and wrote:

Another fan highlighted her semifinal match against Elina Svitolina during the Italian Open. Svitolina saw off the Pole in three sets 4-6, 2-6, 6-2, after the latter committed 50 unforced errors.

One of the fans questioned how the specific workout would affect Swiatek's accuracy, writing:
