In a candid and unexpected turn, world-renowned tennis star Iga Świątek has addressed the swirling rumors that have followed her over the past few weeks, offering clarity to fans and the media alike. Speaking during a press conference following her latest match, Świątek directly confronted speculation regarding her recent absence from high-profile events and her rumored rift with her coaching team.
“It’s been frustrating to read things that aren’t true,” Świątek said calmly. “People have built narratives that don’t reflect what’s actually happening behind the scenes.”
Contrary to speculation suggesting a falling out with longtime coach Tomasz Wiktorowski or potential plans to take a break from tennis, the 24-year-old Polish champion revealed that the real reason for her recent low profile was far more personal — and far less dramatic.
“I needed time to focus on my mental recovery after a demanding season,” she explained. “No drama, no conflict — just self-care. I’ve been working closely with my team the entire time.”
Świątek, currently ranked among the top players in the world, also addressed rumors about potential endorsements and off-court distractions. “I’ve always tried to stay grounded and focus on my game. Everything else is just noise.”
With the Grand Slam calendar still in full swing, fans can expect to see a fully refreshed Świątek return to the court, determined to let her racket do the talking.
