波蘭「世界球后」斯威雅蒂（Iga Swiatek）日前不但拿下今年法國網球公開賽女單冠軍
，也追平本世紀最長的35連勝，不過賽後記者會上一位外國記者提的問題，讓球迷和網友
感到相當無言。

21歲的斯威雅蒂在今年法網決賽僅花了68分鐘，就直落二擊敗對手美國18歲「天才少女」
高芙（Coco Gauff），不僅成功奪下生涯第二座大滿貫賽冠軍，也追平本世紀女網最長35
連勝。


在賽後記者會上有一名記者對她提問，「我有兩個問題，第一個是跟你的專業有關，妳的
殺手鐧是什麼？有人說是正拍、有人說是反拍直線。第二個問題是題外話，妳在私底下參
加派對時會化妝嗎？妳會想要讓自己看得很優雅聰明嗎？因為我們過去看過很多選手上場
前花好幾個小時在鏡子前化妝，不過妳看起來很自然。」

斯威雅蒂聽完後隨即表示，「好的，謝謝，我都戴著帽子所以我不必擔心我的頭髮，這是
最棒的事情，而我不化妝，因為我不覺得我需要這麼做，我也不覺得這會改變什麼，用毛
巾擦汗時自然也會掉妝。」

斯威雅蒂最後還補充，「這個問題很難回答，因為這不在我的公關守則範圍內，反正我不
常化妝，老實說六個月前才剛學會，這真的蠻尷尬的。」

這問題惹火不少外國網友，不但認為這個問題毫無意義，還帶有性別歧視意味，紛紛認為
這名記者未來應該要被禁止參與WTA賽事的訪問，「怎麼不問問納達爾平常有沒有化妝？
」、「你會問費德勒剃完鬍子後才去參加派對嗎？」、「我可以理解為何大坂直美會拒絕
受訪。」

A Journo Is Getting Roasted For Asking French Open Champ Iga Swiatek About Her
Makeup Routine

Published June 5, 2022

Iga Swiatek won the French Open title this weekend, defeating Coco Gauff in tw
o sets. In doing so, she broke Serena Williams‘ longest WTA winning streak. S
wiatek has moved to the top of the rankings and is the world #1 after Ash Bart
y‘s shock retirement earlier this year. Huge achievements all around.

But – and I hate that I’m even writing this – a real-life, human journalist
has instead decided to prove that sexism and bad taste are alive and well dur
ing Swiatek’s post-match press conference.

“One technical question and one which is not,” the reporter said. “The tech
nical is: What is your best shot? Someone says it’s the forehand; someone say
s it’s the return down-the-line backhand. What do you think? This is the firs
t question.”

OK, sure. Relevant. Contextually appropriate.

Then the reporter continued: “The second question is: Outside of the court, w
hen you go to a party, do you use make-up? Do you like to go elegant and smart
and so on?”

I can not deal with this stupidity and ignorance. How? How does this happen?

“Because many players we have seen in the past, they were staying hours in fr
ont of the mirror before going on court and using the make-up and you seem ver
y natural like this,” the reporter continued.

Swiatek replied, “OK, thank you.”

She continued to answer the question, but I’m not going to put that here beca
use what she does or doesn’t do with her makeup does not matter. This woman i
s at the top of her game, was asked a dumb question by a backward reporter and
was caught off guard.

“Well, that’s – wow, I don’t have that in my PR brief, you know, so it’s
hard to answer,” Swiatek added.

It’s not fair.

People (myself included) are rightfully pissed off. Sports broadcaster Catheri
ne Whitaker posted part of the interview to Twitter, and it’s quickly gained
comment and retweet steam.

A common thread in the Tweet’s responses was whether or not Rafael Nadal woul
d get asked the same question when he plays his final tonight.

Spoiler: he won’t.

Some even suggested the reporter be banned from the WTA circuit.

I’d be surprised if this reporter showed their face at another women’s sport
ing event. I wouldn’t.

Others are just downright over it.
