After her breast cancer diagnosis, Gaby Dabrowski found unexpected ‘joy' – and success – on the tennis court
Gaby Dabrowski enjoyed some of the most memorable victories of her tennis career last year, and did it all while quietly navigating a personal health crisis. It was only on New Year's Eve that Dabrowski, one of the world's top doubles players, revealed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in April. Suddenly, everything she had achieved throughout 2024 – an Olympic bronze medal in mixed doubles and her victory at the season-ending WTA Finals – was cast in a new light, instantly more remarkable than it first appeared. At one point in her recovery, just two weeks before the start of the grass-court season, Dabrowski couldn't even toss the ball into the air for a serve. Unable to lift her left arm high enough, she instead got her coach to throw it up for her during practice sessions. But fast-forward a couple of months and the Canadian was in Paris with an Olympic bronze medal around her neck, finally celebrating a childhood dream fulfilled. Arguably more impressive was that Dabrowski and partner Erin Routliffe had been runners-up in the mixed doubles at Wimbledon just a few weeks before, all while the 32-year-old had put further cancer treatment on hold to continue competing. The success, Dabrowski thinks, came alongside a change in perspective brought about by her cancer diagnosis – a new and welcome appreciation for the life she was leading. 'I really felt like it was such a cool thing to be able to play tennis as my profession, and I felt very grateful for the opportunity to be able to do that,' she tells CNN Sports. 'What I noticed is the results that I had last year didn't come because I wanted them, they came because I was enjoying what I was doing … really finding this joy in an achievement that came not from dreaming about it at night necessarily, but from sticking to my process of how I wanted to improve my tennis.' This was especially true during the Paris Olympics, when Dabrowski endured a period of bad health on her way to winning bronze in the mixed doubles alongside Félix Auger-Aliassime. That tournament was never centered around getting a medal; it was about simply getting through 'a couple of really tough days,' Dabrowski says. 'Honestly, I went to sleep thinking about how I was going to survive the next day,' she adds. 'What I was going to try to eat, hopefully I would sleep well, and if I didn't, how I would manage that. I broke things down into very small, achievable wins … And then a good result came.' Dabrowski's cancer journey really began in the spring of 2023 when she noticed a lump in her left breast. A doctor around that time told her not to worry about it, so she didn't. However, during a physical provided by the WTA, the governing body of women's tennis, the following year, another doctor encouraged Dabrowski to get the lump scanned. What came next felt like a whirlwind: a mammogram, an ultrasound, then a call from the radiologist urging her to get a biopsy immediately. 'It turned grim very quickly,' says Dabrowski. But it equally didn't take long for things to become more positive. 'I eventually got good news after good news after good news in terms of my staging, the size of the tumor, my Oncotype DX scoring which determines if you need chemo or not,' she adds. 'I didn't need chemo because my score was low enough and I didn't have any spread through my lymph nodes. So I kind of was just in this mode of: 'Okay, this was scary, but I'm also super grateful that I'm handling this quickly and I'm still at an early stage.'' The WTA, backed by medical technology company Hologic, offers annual health screenings for players on the Tour, which this year took place at the ongoing Miami Open. They examine, among other things, body composition, bone density, pelvic health, mental health, and Ob-Gyn issues like fertility and postpartum recovery. Players are also offered blood work, skin checks, cardiology tests and internal medicine with Mayo Clinic physicians. 'We have not a lot of time when we're traveling – let alone being able to see our doctors, being able to get checkups,' world No. 4 Jessica Pegula told CNN en Español's Elizabeth Pérez at the Miami Open. 'Our schedule's so all over the place so being able to come here and to do that before a tournament is great.' Pegula also said that she had spoken to women's health specialists through the WTA about the option to freeze her eggs. 'I'm 31,' she explained, 'so that's something that interested me, knowing that I don't really know what I'm going to do, but the window of having a kid gets smaller and smaller as you get older.' As for Dabrowski, she feels grateful to have such resources at her disposal, ultimately leading to her early-stage diagnosis. Now, she wants to help spread awareness for breast cancer – a big reason for sharing her story when she did. 'I really wanted women to be able to know that, even though something like cancer is scary, if you get whatever you have checked out early, and you can handle it, breast cancer has a 99% chance of survival,' says Dabrowski. 'And that was the first messaging that I saw on the flyer when I walked into the office for my mammogram: breast cancer is 99% survivable.' The past year in Dabrowski's life also demonstrates how it is possible to thrive, and not just survive, during intense treatment for health issues. Cancer became curiously intertwined with her tennis career, providing added motivation to get back on the court with a new appreciation for the sport 'In the beginning, I wasn't sure what my future would hold, not just in tennis, but my life in general,' she says. 'I didn't know if I was able to play again, when that would be, what my schedule might look like; would I have to play fewer tournaments? What would that mean for my ranking, my position financially? 'But then over time, I would say probably a month and a half after my diagnosis when I'd had a lot of answers to a lot of the questions I had about coming back to play, I really had this itch to want to return.' The cancer diagnosis has forced Dabrowski to take care of her body with meticulous attention to detail. That means making incremental improvements to her diet – avoiding sugar, processed foods, and anything that might cause inflammation – her sleep, and her physiotherapy. Dabrowski has always taken tennis seriously and always will for the duration of her career. But while dialing in on how she treats her body, she's noticed a new, almost liberating, mindset appear – one that allows her to approach the game in a more positive and forgiving way. Now, winning still feels good but the losses don't hurt quite as much as they used to. 'Although tennis has been all-encompassing from a very young age for me, I don't feel like it's the number one thing about who I am as a person, and I no longer attach my identity to my performance,' Dabrowski says to CNN. 'I'm able to take this life a little bit lighter, I feel like that's where good results come; and even if they don't come, I'm okay with them.' That's a special position to be in, especially when you consider that Dabrowski, around about this time last year, thought that she might never be able to play tennis again. But she's back on the court now, appreciating the life of a professional athlete more than ever before.

Polish central banker Dabrowski says July a safe time to cut rates
WARSAW, April 16 (Reuters) - July is a very safe moment to cut interest rates in Poland, Monetary Policy Council (MPC) member Ireneusz Dabrowski said, although he did not rule out that the decision could be made earlier and added that wage data would be key. "The decision to cut rates may come sooner, but in my opinion July is a very safe moment. Any earlier carries a certain risk, but perhaps the Council will decide to do so and there will be a proposal on this matter," Dabrowski told Reuters. Poland's main interest rate has been at 5.75% since October 2023, but central bank governor Adam Glapinski has said this month that policy easing could come as soon as May due to a lower than previously expected outlook for inflation. Some other MPC members are also inclined to start the monetary policy easing cycle quickly, perhaps as early as next month. "I see that disinflation processes are faster than assumed in the March projection. However, I do not know if they are fast enough for this decision to happen in May. But undoubtedly, compared to the previous month, the Council's willingness to cut interest rates has increased," Dąbrowski said. Among the factors that increase the uncertainty of monetary policy, Dabrowski mentioned the impact of U.S. customs policy on the Polish economy, as well as the expectation that the government will decide to lift an energy price cap in the fourth quarter, which would affect inflation. The MPC member said that in his opinion wage data are key to making a decision on interest rate cuts. "If the inflation target is 2.5% and labor productivity is 3-4%, then the safe rate of wage growth is around 5-6%, and at the moment it is at an estimated level of around 8%, so we are close. We are waiting for this data," told Dabrowski. The council member also said that in his opinion, if the Monetary Policy Council decided to ease monetary policy, it should initially be an "adjustment" move. "Which does not rule out that (a cycle) could start later, but we will have to wait until the July projection to test this adjustment," told Dabrowski.

Olympic medalist Gabriela Dabrowski reveals why 'cancer had to happen to me'
As Canadian tennis star Gabriela Dabrowski nears the one-year anniversary of her cancer diagnosis, the three-time Grand Slam champion revealed in a recent interview that the life-changing news she received in the spring of 2024 changed her outlook on life for the better. Dabrowski, who won her first Olympic medal in Paris just months after being diagnosed with breast cancer, first revealed in an Instagram post on New Year's Eve that, despite all the success she had seen that season, she had been keeping a secret. She had first observed a lump in her left breast during a "self-exam" in 2023, but it was later dismissed by another doctor. The following year, in the spring, a WTA doctor suggested she get another evaluation, and after a series of testing, Dabrowski was diagnosed with breast cancer. "I don't regret what the doctor told me then [in 2023], because I'm really happy with how my year turned out, what I learned, what I experienced," she told last week. "It's an acknowledgment that cancer is something really messed up and it can be very scary." Unbeknownst to her fans, Dabrowski underwent treatment but remained on the court. She won two doubles titles, including the WTA Tour Final, and earned her first Olympic medal at the Summer Games. She also reached a new career-high in doubles ranking, coming in at No. 3. For Dabrowski, her outlook on life changed following her diagnosis. She said cancer "shook" her into understanding of "what it meant to be alive." "Cancer had to happen to me; something had to shake me, and cancer did that," she told "It shook me. It's not to say that I wasn't grateful for my life before, or the people in it, or the experiences in life that I lead. But it was something bigger, because it really shook me to my core of what it meant to be alive, what it meant to play a sport for a living." Dabrowski came forward with her journey with the hopes of bringing awareness to early detection and sharing her story as a survivor. "Early on in my diagnosis I was afraid of cancer becoming a part of my identity forever," she wrote in her post from December. "I don't feel that way anymore. It is a privilege to be able to call myself a survivor." Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
