Swiatek shifts across court to meet the ball, then resets as the exchange continues.

Iga Swiatek’s movement is the detail to watch in this rally. As the ball travels across court, she shifts laterally to meet it, then works back into position as the exchange carries on.

That adjustment is part of the point’s rhythm: cover the space to reach the shot, then be ready for the reply. The ball is visible ahead of her extended racket as she moves across the court; later, she is back in a wide ready stance, facing the far side.
