Are we tennis players or animals at the zoo, who get stared at even when we poop? said Swiatek after losing to Jelena Rybakina 0–2 in sets.

Swiatek asked for private areas where players don't have to feel like "the whole world is watching."

The reason she brought up the topic was that Coco Gauff had been caught on television breaking her racket the day before inside Rod Laver Arena.

"I tried to go somewhere where they wouldn't be able to film it, but apparently they did," said Gauff after her quarterfinal loss.

Rybakina will face Jessica Pegula of the United States in the semifinals.
