Iga Swiatek Reveals Concerning Injury Scare Behind Shock US Open Exit to Amanda Anisimova

What can be worse than losing to the same opponent who you thrashed two months ago with a double bagel on grass? For Iga Swiatek, perhaps it’s not the outcome from her latest encounter with Amanda Anisimova that’s causing panic but something else. Talk about struggling with your body that compromises your remaining season. For the six-time slam queen, the concluding phase of 2025 appears to be an out-of-body experience. Especially after her glorious run at Wimbledon and then Cincinnati. Moving forward, however, clouds of uncertainty are now knocking on the door.

As if the defeat against Anisimova wasn’t enough to make her feel dejected, Swiatek just spilled the beans on another worrying situation. Seems like her US Open run was marred by an unwanted setback. Following her shocking exit from New York, the Pole took to her Instagram account while extending praise for her opponent’s remarkable performance. “Thank you, New York and congratulations @amandaanisimova – you played amazing. Good luck for the rest of the tournament.”

But what came next was a bummer for her fans. Swiatek revealed that the US Open campaign was “challenging for me and for my team”. How? She mentioned “Playing matches without practicing on days off” while revealing her “foot issue”. Now that’s not good news given the fact there are still many events left this season for her to compete. Most importantly, the WTA Finals in Riyadh in November. Further, the Pole underlined how she pushed herself “through a lot” and “made it to the quaterfinals with a lot on our plate, and I’m pretty proud of what I did in these circumstances.”
