Daria Abramowicz i Iga Świątek

Iga Świątek ended her cooperation with Tomasz Wiktorowski. The Polish woman’s decision causes great emotions. On this occasion, one of the experts raises the issue of the influence of a psychologist on a tennis player.

Iga Świątek set all the sports media in the world on fire with an unexpected decision. The Pole announced the end of her cooperation with Tomasz Wiktorowski, the coach with whom she achieved most of the greatest successes in her career. The results will show whether it was the right step. It is already known that the Pole will not be present in the next tournament in a row. After Seoul, Tokyo and Beijing comes the absence in Wuhan. This will certainly affect the Polish woman’s position in the WTA ranking.

The expert talks about the role of psychologist Iga Świątek

The still current leader parted ways after three successful years. Recently, however, there has been a lot of talk about the Polish woman’s crisis. Her former coach Artur Szostaczko suggested possible mental problems after her defeat against Qinwen Zheng in the semifinals of the Olympic Games. Later, there was also a defeat against Jessica Pegula in the quarterfinals of the US Open, although this one was not as shocking as the fight in Paris.

Świątek’s decision is commented on by many experts. In an interview with Interia, Tomasz Wolfke referred to the case. According to a Polish journalist specializing in tennis, Wiktorowski had to function in a team in which Daria Abramowicz also had a lot to say. He described the psychologist as an “eminence grise”.

– How many ears did Wiktorowski have to listen to in this extremely unique arrangement, in which it is obvious that Daria Abramowicz is the eminence grise of this team. I don’t remember any other situation in sports where a psychologist was so visible, said Wolfke. – Of course, I don’t question the fact that this team is very professional, because it is. However, it is headed by the player’s father, not a hired manager. The main role in it is played not by a coach but by a psychologist. So this is not a typical team – added the expert.

Changes in the Iga Światek calendar

Due to Świątek’s resignation from the tournament in Wuhan, the next event in which the Pole will take part is the WTA finals. The leader of the ranking’s performance in the Billie Jean King Cup finals is still uncertain.
