Some things are better left unsaid.

Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek’s post-match interview took an awkward turn Sunday when the interviewer mentioned possibly spitting on her after beating Elena Rybakina in straight sets to reach the Cincinnati Open final.

“Wait, [is that] rain?” Swiatek, 24, said as she looked up at the sky, pausing a question about facing Jasmine Paolini in the final.

“No, it’s probably me spitting on you when I’m asking you a question,” the interviewer said, which drew laughter from the audience at P&G Center Court.
