Iga Swiatek leaves fans stunned with a VERY unhygienic act in Australian Open loss Polish star lost semifinal to Madison Keys despite having a match point Has been at the centre of a doping controversy since August last year By JOSH ALSTON FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA Published: 23:34, 23 January 2025 | Updated: 23:34, 23 January 2025 e-mail 3 View comments Polish tennis star Iga Swiatek has been accused of a very unhygienic act during the shock loss to American Madison Keys that put her Australian Open title hopes on ice for another year. Keys had to dig deep, staving off a match point and holding on for a memorable 5-7 6-1 7-6 (10-8) win on Rod Laver Arena on Thursday night. Swiatek has been at the centre of controversy since serving a a one-month suspension in 2024 after testing positive for prohibited substance trimetazidine (TMZ) in an out-of-competition sample last August.
Now eagle-eyed Australian Open viewers, monitoring her every move, have picked up an act during her semi-final loss to Keys they describe as 'gross'. During at least one stage of the match, the Polish star used her Australian Open towel to first wipe up something on the ground, then wipe the sweat off her legs. Then, to many fans' horror, she immediately used that same towel to wipe her face.
