Yes, it's about Iga ¦wiatek. It's amazing what the English Tennis wrote

Iga Świątek will return to the game on Sunday after almost two months of break and will start the WTA Finals. The whole world is already alive with her rivalry with Aryna Sabalenka for victory in this competition and the number one position in the ranking. The English “Daily Mail” devoted a lot of attention to Tennis players. The newspaper recalled that although they played a great season, both had their problems… including mental problems.

The world is getting ready to lose Świątek to Sabalenka. This is what they write about a Pole. “Elusive”

Before the competition started, the ladies had the opportunity to train together on Thursday. It was immediately obvious that they had a great relationship with each other. There were photos together, smiles and not a bit of unhealthy competition. According to the English, this is just the calm before the storm. – The conversation, the hug at the net and the recording of the TikTok on Sabalenka's account – everything happened very quickly. So far it has been very civil. However, it is unlikely that it will stay that way, as both players are preparing to fight for the title of champion this year – emphasized the Daily Mail.

Świątek is in a worse situation. The Pole recently lost her lead in the WTA ranking and she has to make up for the loss. – Światek is elusive on clay and won her fifth Grand Slam title at the French Open in June. But since then, the Polish star has stumbled, sometimes visibly struggling with the mental aspect of his game, the English noted.

The daily recalled that apart from Roland Garros, the Pole did not even advance to the semi-finals in any Grand Slam tournament this year. Moreover, the defeat in the Olympic semi-finals cost her a lot of tears. The cameras also captured her crying after her unsuccessful US Open quarterfinals, after which she withdrew from the competition for a long time. – Świątek also broke up with her long-time coach, Tomasz Wiktorowski, after three years of working together, which is further evidence of the burst of the dam in the player and the depth of mental and physical burnout that defined the second part of the season – we read.

Not only Świątek. Sabalenka also had problems this season. “She was plunged into a personal tragedy”

However, mental problems did not only concern Świątek. The daily recalled that March this year was particularly difficult for her rival. – Sabalenka was plunged into a personal tragedy. A few days before the start of the tournament in Miami, her former partner, Konstantin Koltsov, was found dead after falling from the balcony of a five-star hotel – it was written. It was also immediately pointed out that although Sabalenka and Kołtsov were no longer together, the Belarusian was very upset about it.

Another difficult moment came in the summer, when she had to miss extremely important starts due to a shoulder injury, including: in Wimbledon. “Ultimately, it was her body that made the final, unspoken decision, collapsing on the eve of Wimbledon and forcing a late withdrawal,” it said. However, the Daily Mail added that Sabalenka is currently in a better situation. Not only is she now the leader of the world ranking, but to maintain this title she does not have to win the entire tournament. All he needs to do is advance to the finals and win the group only.
