WATCH: Tennis Player Lashes Out at Reporter Over Bizarre Question About Her Appearance

Polish tennis star Iga Swiatek appeared visibly upset when a reporter asked her a strange question about her appearance following a U.S. Open match.

Swiatek had just won her second-round match in the mixed doubles tournament at the U.S. Open on Thursday afternoon. In the post-match press conference, a Polish reporter asked her if she’d wear beads in her hair like Japanese star Naomi Osaka. Through the early parts of the event, Osaka got a lot of attention for her flashy on-court attire.

Almost immediately, however, Swiatek made it clear she was not amused by the random non-tennis question.

“What kind of question is this?” the 24-year-old said in Polish. “I’m sorry. ‘Did you think about putting beads in your hair?’ No. What’s going on here?”

As noted in a report from Daily Mail, Swiatek’s relationship with the media in her home country has been rocky at best.

She has especially taken issue with the coverage surrounding her relationship with her psychologist. In March, an article from the Polish publication Interia Sports called the relationship “disturbed,” with another psychologist claiming “certain boundaries of professional distance between the psychologist and the client are crossed.”

Swiatek had dismissed the comments, saying she has “the best people” around her.
