Wimbledon champion tells cameraman to stop filming her as she removes clothes on court
Wimbledon champion tells cameraman to stop filming her as she removes clothes on court Iga Swiatek was involved in a brief altercation at the end of the opening set during her semi-final clash with Elena Rybakina at the Cincinnati Open, as she demanded a cameraman stopped filming her Iga Swiatek was in fine form on Saturday (Image: Robert Prange, Getty Images) Iga Swiatek requested a camera operator to cease filming her during her Cincinnati Open semi-final match against Elena Rybakina. The Polish tennis ace went on to secure a comfortable victory in a contest lasting over an hour and 38 minutes, securing her place in the final against Jasmine Paolini. Swiatek had to dig deep in the opening set, clinching a 7-5 win to take a significant step towards the final. The 24-year-old then sealed the match with a 6-3 victory in the second set on her way to the final. Swiatek maintained her composure throughout the match, even when asking a camera operator to stop filming at the end of the first set. The camera followed this year's Wimbledon champion to her bench to capture her reactions after the gruelling set. However, after exhaling a sigh of relief and removing her cap, Swiatek then gestured to the operator and waved her hand down the lens to signal that she no longer wished to be filmed as she was about to change. Article continues below A brief wag of the finger further emphasised her point. The shot ended while Swiatek prepared to change her top, as most players do between sets to stay comfortable, reports the Express. Iga Swiatek urged the cameraman to move on (Image: X) The brief interaction did not affect the eventual winner's focus, and she went on to reach her first final in Cincinnati. Following her victory, Swiatek said: "At the beginning, the level was pretty crazy. "We played so fast that sometimes we couldn't run to the second ball. I was there to play with intensity and good quality. "I'm super happy with the performance. Anyone in the final is going to be super tough, so I have to think tactically. Iga Swiatek was crowned Wimbledon champion earlier this summer (Image: Getty) "I will focus on myself and do what I've been doing, because for sure I feel like there's been progress at this tournament. I just want to continue that, no matter what the result is. "I feel the love here, it's a great place to be. People of Cincinnati are so nice, everywhere we go, even though we're here to play, we feel like we can have peace and just relax when off the court. "So thank you guys for coming out, rooting for us and see you tomorrow." Article continues below Swiatek ultimately reigned victorious in the final of the Cincinnati Open on Monday, pipping Paolini to the punch with a comfortable 7-5 6-4 victory to clinch her first-ever win at the event.

X Factor's Diana Vickers on invite to ‘party' at Leo DiCaprio's house & her bizarre theory on his dating ‘system'
Diana thinks Titanic actor Leo has a 'system' and she revealed what it is Di & DiCaprio X Factor's Diana Vickers on invite to 'party' at Leo DiCaprio's house & her bizarre theory on his dating 'system' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) X FACTOR star Diana Vickers has revealed that she was invited to 'party' at Leonardp DiCaprio's house, as she discussed her bizarre theory on his dating 'system.' Singer Diana Vickers, 34, was advising a caller on dealing with large age gaps in relationships when Titanic actor Leo was brought into conversation. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Diana Vickers thinks Titanic actor Leo has a 'system' and she revealed what it is Credit: Splash 4 Leonardo Dicaprio and Diana watched TV together at what she thought was going to be a party Credit: Getty Diana co-hosts a new Metro podcast named Just Between Us, alongside sex columnist Alice Giddings. She said: 'I did meet Leo once. He will have no memory of meeting me. One of his mates invited me around to his house. 'I thought it was going to be a party. Then I ended up just sitting with him watching telly.' Diana called it a 'really, really bizarre moment.' She then shared her theory on his dating 'system,' continuing: 'I think he has this system. 'So, Leo's obviously at the helm of it – and he surrounds himself with these good-looking lads, who are all looking for a good time. 'The good-looking lads go and source these hot women for him – it's really dodgy. 'That stuff happens a lot in Hollywood. These men have got so much fame and power, and they don't want to grow up.' She added: 'They just want to be surrounded by beautiful young women all the time. I am not generalising Leo here, I think that's just what happens. It's quite weird actually.' Fans convinced Leonardo DiCaprio was 'flirting' with two former Wimbledon stars at Centre Court During the chat, Diana revealed that she'd dated men older and younger than her. She said: 'One of the last guys I dated was five years younger than me – I did feel it. It was why we didn't work out. 'When you're older, you want to put in the graft – you want to see things through. You don't dwell on smaller things as much. 'This guy just gave off immature energy – he was constantly holding on to things. I think I maybe acted immature because he was less mature. 'It made me feel less of my older, feminine energy. I sort of reverted back. It was a lot of fun though.' And according to a relationship expert, men like Leo tend to go for age gaps because it makes them feel younger — but that's not the only reason. Lovehoney's sex and relationship expert, Annabelle Knight, is a bestselling author and a celebrity relationship coach. Last year, she spoke to The U.S. Sun, she broke down why men in their 50s and beyond sometimes prefer dating women around half their age. "High-profile men have been dating younger women for decades," she said. More and more are coming forward with younger and younger girlfriends, like former New England Patriots general manager Bill Belichick, 72, who recently went public with Jordan Hudson, 24. 'This has always been a trend in Tinseltown," Knight said. "Look back at any decade in the past and you'll be able to think of a couple with a big age gap — whether it's Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, or Frank Sinatra with Mia Farrow," she added. The "prevalence of these relationships in Hollywood" may be down to the rules "feeling slightly different" there. She added that many societal pressures may influence some men's preference towards younger women, especially in Hollywood. She said it "could be easier not to feel as constrained by societal norms as the average person does.' Leo's oldest partner was model Gigi Hadid, 27, in 2022. His longest relationships have been five years with model Gisele Bundchen, five with model Bar Refaeli and four with actress Camila Morrone — all of whom were ditched aged 25. Others were actresses and models Erin Heatherton aged 22, Kelly Rohrbach, 25, Toni Garrn, 21 and Nina Agdal, 25. Vittoria Ceretti is the actor's current partner. 4 During the chat, Diana revealed that she'd dated men older and younger than her Credit: Instagram
