Iga Swiatek Stays Silent on Love Life
Iga Swiatek Stays Silent on Love Life originally appeared on Athlon Sports. You won't find roses, heart emojis, or a mysterious plus one in Iga Swiatek's player box. And that's exactly why fans can't stop wondering: is the world No. 1 single? Advertisement Swiatek is in talks for the Wimbledon final this year against Amanda Anisimova, and not just this, but also for the mystery off the court. Unlike some of her tennis peers, think Aryna Sabalenka, who's often seen with her entrepreneur boyfriend or Grigor Dimitrov and his actress girlfriend, Swiatek's courtside support team looks strictly professional. No boyfriend. No husband. And if there's someone in the picture, she's kept it impressively quiet.

The outlet also noted there are 'no official records of her past relationships.' Her focus? Tennis. 'It is believed that Swiatek's sole focus is her tennis career and continuing to break records on the circuit,' they added. Advertisement Those who do fill her player box? Coach Tomasz Wiktorowski. Psychologist Daria Abramowicz. Strength coach Maciej Ryszczuk. And hitting partner Tomek Moczek. That's the full squad, as per Town & Country. But it hasn't been all smooth. Abramowicz, who has worked with Swiatek since she was 17, became the subject of controversy back in Poland. Sports psychologist Dariusz Nowicki told Interia Sport that the boundaries between psychologist and client seem 'disturbed.' Despite this, Tennis365 credited the Abramowicz partnership as a key to Swiatek's success. Still, fans are left guessing. Of course, just because Swiatek hasn't gone public with a love interest doesn't mean she's not dating anyone. But for now, it seems the only relationship she's flaunting is with her racket.
