Alarming Words About Świątek: “Nobody Wants to Help Her”

Why can’t Iga Świątek control the crisis? Piotr Woźniacki presented his opinion on the subject on Polish Radio. – When I look at the faces of people from her team, I immediately know what’s going on there, ‘ admitted the former coach of Karolina Woźniacka.

Iga Świątek, the world number two, failed to advance to the final of the WTA 1000 tournament in Madrid, losing to American Coco Gauff. The Polish player’s performance stirred up a lot of emotions, and Piotr Woźniacki, Karolina Woźniacka’s father and former coach, criticized Świątek’s team. In an interview with Cezary Gurjew from Polish Radio, he emphasized that the problem is the lack of support for the player.

– The problem is the team of “advisers”, as well as stress and the pressure of records. It’s hard to carry this burden alone, and no one wants to help her; everyone just expects something, assessed Woźniacki senior. In his opinion, Świątek needs more relaxation and joy from the game to overcome the current crisis.

Woźniacki noted that Iga Świątek has built a beautiful home for herself and her fans, but sometimes you need to let some air in. – When I look at the faces of her team, I know immediately what’s going on there. A breakthrough is needed! She can’t pull this “cart” by herself, you need some joy from the game, he added.

Świątek hasn’t won a tournament in a year. Her form is worrying, because for years she ruled on clay, and now even her favorite surface is no longer her advantage.

The Polish tennis player lost the top spot in the WTA rankings to Aryna Sabalenka a few months ago. She is currently in serious danger of falling to third place, with Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff right behind her.

If nothing changes suddenly, Iga will soon start in Rome, where she has already won in the past. The most important event of this part of the season will be the Grand Slam Roland Garros, which will start at the end of May.
