‘It Becomes National Drama’– Iga Swiatek’s Ex-Coach Minces No Words As He Defends Her Time Off With Apt Aryna Sabalenka Example

“Due to personal matters, I’m forced to withdraw from the China Open in Beijing,” Iga Swiatek revealed in a statement. But was this really surprising? Swiatek has repeatedly complained about the demanding schedule. While everyone would have loved to see her on the court, she still needs to look after her health to prevent future issues like burnout. In fact, this season can be dedicated to just two WTA players, Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka. They dominated the season despite surprises in the form of Qinwen Zheng and Barbora Krejčíková. While Swiatek established herself as an indestructible force, fans consider Sabalenka as the counter. However, after a successful yet tiring schedule, when Swiatek opted for rest and skipped the tournament to recover, criticism poured in. Now, her ex-coach, Paweł Ostrowski, has come out to defend her.
During an interview with Interia Sports, Ostrowski, narrated fans’ views while defending Swiatek’s move to rest. He said, “We have all become accustomed to the fact that Świątek is indestructible, that she is a machine from Raszyn, and she is only a human being. Let’s recall how intense the first half of the season was for her, and then the Olympics. We all know how much they cost her physically and mentally.”
