Screams and tensions in Iga Świątek’s staff. This detail says it all

The Indian Wells quarterfinal was a real test for Iga Świątek to see if the Pole was returning to the highest level. At stake was not only advancement to the semi-finals of the prestigious tournament, but also valuable points in the WTA ranking.

In the previous stages, Iga Świątek had no problems: she confidently defeated Maria Sakkari (6:3, 6:2) and Karolina Muchova (6:2, 6:0). In the 1.4 finals, Elina Svitolina turned out to be better, defeating the Pole 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 after a real thriller.

The fans’ attention during the match was caught by disturbing scenes recorded by cameras. The recording found on the Internet shows that the Poles clearly lost their nerves. The tennis player threw a towel on the court and shouted ironically at her team: sorry, I was playing bullshit.

Iga Świątek shouts at the team. Everything was recorded by cameras

Iga Świątek’s nervous reaction once again raised the issue of her cooperation with the staff and relationship with psychologist Daria Abramowicz. – Iga started the match against Svitolina very badly and everything started to collapse like a house of cards. Self-confidence began to decline. The Pole made the same mistakes as in recent months and we returned to the starting point. As for these shouts and Iga’s reaction to the way Daria spoke to her, Abramowicz does not calm down the situation, but only escalates the nerves – said Michał Dembek from “Sofa Sportowa” in the “Misja Sport” program.

– This surprises me because she is a sports psychologist and should be able to control her emotions at her fingertips. And I have the impression that At this point, Daria is experiencing Iga’s encounters so much that she is unable to maintain a calm atmosphere. Iga clearly reacts very allergic to hints – he added.

The expert also drew attention to the fact that “Similar behavior is noticeable on Iga Świątek’s side, also in relations with other members of the staff.” – When Maciek Ryszczuk suggested something during the match, Iga also threw up her hands. In my opinion, it’s all up to the head coach. There’s a mishmash there and that’s why there are various tensions, said Michał Dembek.

Dawid Celt defended Iga Świątek and her staff. – A very big outcry was raised. In my opinion, the situation is completely inadequate to what happened. This is an out-of-context ending, where Iga was actually under a lot of stress. The situation repeats itself, people in boxing who care about winning also experience it. This wasn’t the first time we had to deal with something like this, and it probably won’t be the last, the coach explained.

She spoke in a similar tone Paula Kania-Choduń. The former tennis player explained that ““The anger that Świątek experiences on the court is completely normal, and the Pole often directs his strongest shots towards Daria Abramowicz.”

– Iga is a perfectionist, she wants to win every match and perform her best in every tournament. The appearance of such emotions shows that he is human. The fact that such reactions are directed towards the team is natural and common because the first shot is most often received by one of the closest people – she commented in an interview with TVP Sport.

In the opinion of the former player, there are moments when the anger that accumulates in the player must have an outlet somewhere, and in this case, Daria Abramowicz took the shots. – Then, of course, when the emotions subside, things need to be talked through, but it is worth being aware that these are not personal things – she concluded.
