Boris Becker drops 4-word reaction to Iga Swiatek’s heated moment with ballkid at Indian Wells

Tennis legend Boris Becker reacted to Iga Swiatek’s heated exchange with a ballkid during her semifinal match at the BNP Paribas Open held at Indian Wells. The Pole failed to defend her title and lost to 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva in three sets, which resulted in a disappointing exit from the tournament.

Swiatek was seen aggressively smacking the ball back towards a ballkid during the match and was immediately booed by the crowd. A user took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a clip of this incident and wrote:

“I said months ago that she never really stopped being a sore loser, she just stopped losing. And in the last 8 months or so we’ve seen a lottttt more of *this*”

Ahead of this, the Russian prodigy had stunned the current World No. 2 at the Dubai Tennis Championships. She defeated Swiatek 6-3, 6-3 in the quarterfinals and eventually went on to win the tournament. The Pole has had a difficult start to the season and her search for her maiden title of 2025 goes on.

Iga Swiatek, however, channeled a positive mindset in an interview after her loss to Mirra Andreeva at Indian Wells.
