Świątek Cancels 2025 Plans Amid Doping Suspension

Polish tennis star Iga Świątek has announced the cancellation of her 2025 plans following a series of significant developments in her career. In November 2024, Świątek was suspended for one month by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) after testing positive for trimetazidine, a prohibited substance. The ITIA determined that the positive test resulted from a contaminated melatonin product purchased in Poland, which Świątek had been using to address sleep issues. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) reviewed the case and chose not to appeal the decision, affirming the suspension.

In addition to the doping suspension, Świątek parted ways with her coach, Tomasz Wiktorowski, after a three-year collaboration. Reports suggest that she is considering hiring Wim Fissette, who previously coached Naomi Osaka, to help address her performance on various surfaces.

These developments have led Świątek to reassess her schedule for the upcoming year. While she has not provided specific details about her plans, the combination of the doping suspension and coaching changes has prompted her to cancel certain commitments for 2025.

Fans and analysts are closely monitoring Świątek’s situation, as her return to the court and future plans remain uncertain. The tennis community continues to support her during this challenging period, awaiting further updates on her career trajectory.
