Iga Swiatek's Continued Success and Sports Psychologist

The Polish star continued her upward trajectory in 2021, building on her Paris triumph. She claimed titles at the Adelaide International and the Italian Open, propelling her into the Top 15 of the WTA rankings. She then made her Olympic debut at the Tokyo 2020 Games where she reached the second round.

During the first half of 2022, Swiatek achieved an incredible 37-match winning streak. She regained her French Open title and won prestigious events like the Qatar Open, Indian Wells, Miami Open, Stuttgart Open, and Italian Open. French player Alizé Cornet ended her remarkable streak in the third round at Wimbledon. Swiatek also won her first US Open title as she reached number one in the singles rankings.

Both triumphs and challenges have marked her journey in tennis. She has been candid about the mental struggles and demands of competing at the highest level. To bolster her mental fortitude, she enlisted the expertise of Daria Abramowicz, a sports psychologist who has become an integral part of her coaching team. Abramowicz travels with the player during tournaments, helping her enhance her mental resilience and performance.

Swiatek has emphasised the importance of having her psychologist alongside her, as it has facilitated a deep understanding of her reactions to victories and defeats, ultimately contributing to her remarkable career development.
