Tennis<\/a> fans have been left stunned by world No.1 Iga Swiatek's<\/a> bizarre training routine.<\/p>\n

It's been a busy few months for the tennis star after her success at Roland Garros<\/a> in June and then winning the Polish Open on home turf last week, with a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Laura Siegemund.<\/p>\n

She's looking to add to the trophy cabinet at the Canadian Open where the 22-year-old world No.1 was spotted training with tape over her mouth while taking swings at the ball.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Swiatek then took it off at the end of the practice \u2013 however the move garnered plenty of reaction online.<\/p>\n

Tennis journalist Kamakshi Tandon wrote: "A lot of coaches are going to be very interested in this new training method."<\/p>\n

However, one apparent expert on the technique revealed on Twitter that Swiatek was "training for nose-breathing".<\/p>\n

They said: "It's a more efficient and effective method of oxygen delivery to the body's muscles, whoever has her training this way is smart tbh (to be honest).<\/p>\n

"They're aiming for maximum endurance and knowing Iga, she'll get there."<\/p>\n

The star was asked about the practice and she said:\ufeff<\/p>\n

"It's harder to breathe when you are only breathing through your nose and it is easier for my heart rate to go up \u2026 but I am not going to be able to explain it properly because I am not an expert," Swiatek confirmed.<\/p>\n

The top ranked women's player overcame an early test before running away with a 7-6(6) 6-2 victory over Czech Karolina Pliskova in Montreal to reach the third round of the Canadian Open.\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
