At the end of her press conference on Saturday, Swiatek was asked whether she applies makeup when she goes out on the town. British sports broadcastera> Catherine Whitaker relayed the exchange between the reporter and the Polish tennis star on social media.<.
“The second question is, outside of the court, when you go to a party, do you use makeup? Do you like to go elegant and smarta> and so on? Because many players we have seen in the past, they were staying hours in front of the mirror before going on court and using the makeup. And you seem very natural like this.”<

Swiatek seemed baffled in her response.
“OK. Thank you,” she replied. “Well, I’m wearing a hat, so I don’t have to worry about my hair. That’s the most positive thing. I don’t wear makeup because I don’t feel like I kind of have to. And, also, I don’t think that will change something. Also, it’s going to come off when I use a towel.
“Well, that’s … Wow, I don’t have that in my PR brief, you know, so it’s hard to answer. Well, I’m not using makeup like really often. I honestly just learned how to do makeup like six months ago, so that’s pretty embarrassing.”
