Phone call during tennis match – Swiatek in Rome

Iga Swiatek, the current world No. 1, of Poland, experienced an embarrassing moment early in her WTA Italian Open match against seventh seed Elena Rybakina in Rome on Wednesday when her cellphone began to ring during the first game of their quarterfinal match.

Following the first seed’s forced retirement due to an injury in the third set, Rybakina will play 20th seed and 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko on Friday.

I'm a sports writer and football commentator at Setanta Sports with five years of experience. The view, moreover, axiom that sport is more than just physical activity or something like that involves me from head to toe in this industry and becomes an inseparable part of my life. I'm a specialist in international affairs, with a concentration in the middle east. In my opinion, that knowledge of orientalism helps me to orientate well in sports also.
