Iga Świątek with a surprising proposal from the Polish federation. PZT wants to capitalize on the success
There is no doubt that Iga Świątek and Hubert Hurkacz are the two most famous ambassadors of Polish tennis in the world. It may turn out that soon the Polish Tennis Association will take advantage of what the Polish leader of the WTA ranking gives.
We do not intend to belittle Hubert Hurkacz or Magda Linette in any way. The Poznań resident finally reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open in 2023, which is certainly a great achievement on the scale of world tennis. The fact is that the president of PZT Dariusz Łukaszewski wants to try to take advantage of the opportunities offered by Iga Świątek. Her successes, sports and life class, for the development of tennis in the country.
Iga Świątek and Tomasz Świątek with a proposal from PZT
You can learn a lot from the conversation that appeared on the pages of Sport.pl (by Dominik Senkowski) with the president of the Polish Tennis Association. Dariusz Łukaszewski is well aware of the potential of the aforementioned Świątek, Linette, Hurkacz and Kamil Majchrzak – our second best single player.
The head of the PZT admitted that he had made a proposal to Tomasz Świątek that could help in the development of tennis in Poland. Certainly, the leader of the WTA ranking would play a key role here.
– I made a proposal to Mr. Tomasz Świątek to take advantage of the moment we have today. Objective? So that Poles would be even more encouraged to play tennis (…) It’s not just about this tournament. You can also take some action with the participation of the Świątek team and PZT. Generally, as a union, we must strive to increase funds for the promotion of tennis, and Iga’s participation, even in a conference or on a poster, will certainly help attract sponsors. She, of course, has her own career and must think about herself first, and not travel around Poland and promote tennis. It is enough for him to show up at the conference once, and then dad, and we will continue to build tennis on this – admitted President Łukaszewski.
If it was actually sensibly organized, who if who, but Iga Świątek could convince to continue supporting tennis. And the development of this sport in Poland, where, apart from a few exceptions, we are still more world-class.
When is the next match played by Iga Świątek?
The leader of the WTA ranking is currently in Canada, where she is preparing for the second round of the tournament in Toronto. In the WTA 1000 competition, the Polish woman will face Karolina Pliskova. The duel with the Czech tennis player Świątek will be played on Wednesday (i.e. August 9).
It is worth reminding that our competitor is preparing for the US Open Grand Slam. Last year, Świątek turned out to be the best in the competition in New York.
