While the world number 1, Iga Swiatek, once again distinguished herself by inflicting a scathing 6–0, 6–0 in 40 minutes of play on Anastasia Potapova this Sunday, Jo‐Wilfried Tsonga, consultant for Amazon Prime throughout the fortnight, delivered an analysis which should provoke a reaction even if his arguments are not devoid of meaning.

“I don’t want to get into a controversy but I find that the girls, when they play a very hard match, they have a day to recover. So as they do a set or two less, or three often, in comparison with Djokovic who played 4h30 and Swiatek who played 40 minutes, they have the same recovery time and, indeed, that gives the player the possibility behind on the next lap to be all out. And I find that the Grand Slams today, from my prism, seem a little easier physically than the regular season matches. In the regular season, they play every day, that is to say that if they enter a tournament, it is over a week, and there they have to play one match after another. And when they play a 3-hour match, the next day, it’s much more difficult to come back on the field and be able to put in a good performance, whereas in a Grand Slam, they have 15 days. So for them, these are the “easiest” tournaments where they have the opportunity to recover well and be able to give their maximum in each match. »
