In a shocking and emotionally charged interview, Polish tennis sensation Iga Świątek revealed the devastating impact of the sport on her mental health. The 22-year-old Grand Slam champion’s candid confessions left fans and the tennis community stunned, shedding light on the darker side of professional tennis.

“I Felt Like I Was Losing Myself”

Świątek, currently ranked No. 1 in the world, opened up about the immense pressure and stress that comes with competing at the highest level. “I felt like I was losing myself in the process,” she admitted. “The constant travel, training, and competition took a toll on my mental health. I started questioning my identity and purpose beyond tennis.”

“The Weight of Expectation”

Świątek spoke about the crushing weight of expectation from fans, coaches, and sponsors. “Every match, every tournament, every shot is scrutinized,” she said. “The pressure to perform is overwhelming. I felt like I was walking on eggshells, always fearing failure.”

“The Loneliness of Success”

Despite her impressive achievements, including winning the 2022 French Open and 2023 US Open, Świątek revealed the isolating effects of success. “People think it’s all glamour and glory, but the truth is, it’s lonely at the top,” she confessed. “I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve cried myself to sleep, feeling completely alone.”

“The System Failed Me”

Świątek criticized the tennis establishment for neglecting players’ mental well-being. “The system failed me,” she stated. “We’re treated like machines, not humans. The focus is on winning, not well-being.” She called for greater support and resources to address mental health issues in tennis.

“A Breaking Point”

Świątek reached a breaking point during the 2023 Australian Open, where she withdrew from the tournament citing mental exhaustion. “I realized I couldn’t keep going on like that,” she said. “I needed to prioritize my mental health, even if it meant sacrificing my ranking.”

“A Message to Young Players”

Świątek’s words serve as a warning to aspiring tennis players: “Don’t sacrifice your mental health for the sake of success. Your well-being is more important than any trophy.” She urged young players to prioritize self-care and seek help when needed.

“A New Chapter”

Świątek’s courageous admission marks a new chapter in her career, one focused on balance and self-awareness. “I’m taking control of my life, my mental health, and my tennis,” she declared. “I want to inspire others to do the same.”

Przesunąć o miesiąc zaprzysiężenie. Dokładnie przeliczyć głosy, przyjąć ustawę likwidującą PiSowski nie-sąd izbę kontroli i dać właściwemu SN rozpatrzyć ważność wyborów. Zrobić porządek w TK, Krajowej Radzie Sądownictwa i KRRiT. To jest do zrobienia. ❗
