Iga Swiatek’s Closeness With Psychologist Becomes Unheard Reason Behind Her Coaching Split, Per Renowned Journalist

Iga Swiatek‘s shocking coaching split has left fans wondering what’s next. The highly successful partnership between the WTA star and Tomasz Wiktorowski concluded after the former bagged four Grand Slam titles, among other accolades, under the Polish coach’s tutelage. With updates on hiring a suitable replacement still lacking, a French journalist has reflected on the potential reason behind the Pole’s surprising decision.

Let’s not kid ourselves—the competitiveness of the WTA Tour isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. While players’ stress can be managed off-court, gaining better insight into improving mental fortitude always takes priority. (Drumroll)—enter mental coaches. These individuals are exclusively equipped to guide athletes in better compartmentalizing high-octane emotions when competing on the circuit. Noting their monumental contributions to the sporting world, journalist Remi Bourrieres showered high praise upon Swiatek’s mental coach.

Talking to ‘Sport.pl’ for an interview, Bourrieres highlighted key details surrounding Swiatek’s psychologist, Daria Abramovich. Later, the Frenchman outlined Abramovich’s pivotal role in the Pole’s training, suggesting that the duo’s constructive chemistry could have caused the World No. 1 to drift away from Tomasz Wiktorowski as a coach. For those unaware, the young talent has often relied on her psychologist’s expertise. Notably, her former coach also emphasized the importance of mental wellness and recovery during their partnership.
