After capturing the Roland Garros title, Iga Swiatek sailed off into the sunset for the off-season. While the Polish teen is working hard to prepare for next season, she is also trying out a different racquet on a different court.

Playing with her trainer and friends, the 19-year-old tested out her badminton skills, which weren't so bad, although she admits that her badminton ability is not as good as her tennis chops.

Earlier this fall, Swiatek picked up her first Grand Slam title in Paris without dropping a set, defeating Sofia Kenin in the final. She finished her breakthrough year ranked at a career high of No. 17.
