The Middle East Swing of the WTA schedule has given fans plenty of highlights and exciting upsets. Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, and Coco Gauff have all suffered early exits from Masters 1000 events in Doha and Dubai. While World No. 2 Swiatek has fared better than Sabalenka and Gauff, she is still frustrated with her performances.

Iga Swiatek directly blamed scheduling in tennis for her Dubai loss as the world No. 2 bluntly stated that in the circumstances "anybody can win these tournaments." On Thursday, the Polish tennis star saw her campaign at the WTA 1000 tournament in Dubai come to an end in the quarterfinal after Mirra Andreeva claimed a 6-3 6-3 win in their matchup.

Iga Swiatek has taken a swipe at the WTA's tournament scheduling after being eliminated in the quarterfinals at the Dubai Championships.
