Iga Swiatek has called for privacy for tennis players after Coco Gauff's racquet-smashing act near the locker room area following her defeat was broadcast all over.

"The question is, are we tennis players, or are we, like, animals in the zoo, where they are observed even when they poop," said Swiatek apologizing for the latter reference. "OK, that was exaggerating, but it would be nice to have some privacy," added Swiatek.
