Iga Swiatek made headlines last Sunday by clinching her sixth Major title at Wimbledon in a historic 6-0, 6-0 victory over Amanda Anisimova in the women’s singles final. Following her triumph, Swiatek made a bold move by refusing to engage with the press in her home country, Poland. However, her longtime psychologist, Daria Abramowicz, has stirred controversy by announcing an upcoming media interaction concerning the tennis star.
Swiatek has been under the guidance of Abramowicz since 2019 when she was just a teenager. The 37-year-old sports psychologist accompanies the 24-year-old on the WTA Tour, sparking debates within the tennis community about the dynamics of their relationship.
Recently, news surfaced that Abramowicz had agreed to an interview with a local media outlet to discuss Swiatek. This decision did not sit well with many of Swiatek’s fans, especially since the player had distanced herself from the Polish press.
Some fans accused Abramowicz of trying to capitalize on Swiatek’s success for personal gain, labeling her as an “attention seeker.” Others criticized the psychologist for seemingly taking the spotlight away from Swiatek, who had just achieved a remarkable milestone by winning Wimbledon.
Despite the backlash, Swiatek’s Wimbledon triumph catapulted her to World No. 3 in the WTA rankings, positioning her just 866 points behind Coco Gauff in second place.
In terms of Grand Slam victories, Swiatek’s resume now boasts six titles at the young age of 24. Her wins span across three of the four Majors, including the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. Swiatek’s journey to success began in 2020 with a surprising French Open victory, followed by three consecutive titles at Roland Garros from 2022 to 2024. She also clinched the Wimbledon crown in 2025 and the US Open title in 2022.
As Swiatek continues her quest for a Career Grand Slam, her partnership with Abramowicz and her unwavering dedication to the sport will undoubtedly be scrutinized. Despite the controversy surrounding her psychologist’s media appearance, Swiatek remains focused on her goal of reaching the pinnacle of tennis.
