A Heavy Burden from Iga Świątek’s Past that she’s still dealing with.

Part of the article, written by Marcin Piątek, delves into Świątek’s family matters, which have largely been a taboo subject. It’s known that Iga has a very close relationship with her father Tomasz and her sister Agata. However, little is said about her relationship with her mother, Dorota. “I watch most of the broadcasts of my daughter’s matches.
Iga is now an adult, independent, and self-sufficient. She doesn’t need her mom to travel with her to tournaments. She has her own team. I always congratulate her on her titles, usually via email. However, our contact is quite limited,” Dorota Świątek said in an interview with WP SportoweFakty in February this year.
Fans have often wondered about the current relationship between Świątek’s parents, as there hasn’t been much information on the topic in the media. In the “Polityka” article, it is revealed that Iga Świątek carries a significant emotional burden from unresolved issues in her past. The author states that Świątek’s parents divorced when she was a teenager, and her mother reportedly disappeared from the lives of her two daughters, who stayed with their father. Świątek’s contact with her mother was said to have even been severed.
On Friday, Iga Świątek announced that she would not compete in the WTA 1000 tournament on hard courts in Beijing. “I know the fans will witness amazing tennis there, and I’m sorry I won’t be a part of it this time” – the Polish player wrote in a statement. The world’s best tennis player also won’t be participating in the tournament in Tokyo. This season, Świątek has a record of 60 wins and eight losses.
