How I learned to love Iga Swiatek again

Anni.Angel

Semi-Pro
When I first seen Iga play I liked her. I enjoyed her winning her first Grand Slam. And I became a fan.
I was never into her game and never admired her shots as i admired Annett Kontaveit but I like her as a tennis player.

Later on she did some things that I didn't like and ended up hating her with passion.

These days I had to play a girl who didn't know how bad I hate Iga. Before the match she called me and said she is already at the court and asked if I could buy her a drink. I bought her a Gatorade and bottle of water as asked.
During the match she asked me how did I learn to hit winners like Iga.
I stayed polite, smiled and didn't say anything bad but that bothered me a bit. Then as the match progressed and the winners continued pouring they said more and more often that I hit like Iga.
I was thinking I brought her drinks and everything and she calls me Iga. I was mad but kept my cool.

Then the people on the other court said that as well. At this point I got mad and I started hitting harder to punish my opponent.
That was like gasoline on a fire. I ended up being called Iga by everyone.

Then I realised the lights in that place were quite bright and I should wear my cap. But I didn't want to because I knew that would make me resemble Iga even more.
In the end I had no choice and had to wear that, the lights were too bright.

Even worse the people said that before seeing me hit winners like that, they thought you could only hit that kind of shots only using PEDs.
Now I was the proof Iga is not using PEDs.

By the time the match was ending I realised people were actually complementing me, they didn't know I hate Iga. Their heart was in the right place.
I felt so stupid and so embarrassed. I was glad I smiled politely all the time and didn't let them know I hate Iga.

After all Iga is an amazing tennis player. I should be honoured if someone finds any similarities between me and her game.

As I got home, all my friends laughed out loud. I asked them if they think I play like Iga and they said yes.
Then I remembered they were always laughing when I was ranting about Iga. And I asked them if that was the reason and the answer was yes.

I might end up being called Iga and now I am fine with that. It was a bit of a shock, but hey, life is full of surprises.
I always loved Annett Kontaveit but nobody said I play like her. I hated Iga and everyone thinks I play like her.

I still don't think I play like Iga but everyone else keeps saying that.

I watched Iga's match against Alexandrova and rooted for Iga. I can learn to love Iga.

A friend of mine once told me, the people you hate the most resemble you the most. Seems to be true.

But I’m still not really a Iga fan, one big reason is the flap she does when it’s her opponent’s turn to hit. The way Tsitsipas did on a match point (he lost the point anyways).

I’m not a big fan of Tsitsipas either.

I like Rybakina or Sabalenka a lot more for female tennis players.

Yeah... you look like Anna Kournikova, just better, and play like Swiantek.. I use similar lines a lot.. They always please the opponent or partner. I try to avoid mixing it up though.

Say: You look like Sampras and play like Federer..
Don't say: You look like Sampras and play like Kournikova. Especially if you are trying to compliment a lady.

That is nice.

I am a Djokovic fan that plays like Nadal, yet i don't love Nadal.

Perhaps i lack more love in my life.

OK.

Valentine's day is over. Are you over Iga now?

"Even worse the people said that before seeing me hit winners like that, they thought you could only hit that kind of shots only using PEDs."
But Iga is not one of the most more powerful hitters on tour, and nowhere near the most powerful hitters, so I find it hard to believe they say that.

Wait, this thread is to be taken seriously?
