Świątek falls apart before our eyes. Abramowicz can't pretend anymore
“The longer the weaker season of Iga Świątek, the more often we see how mental it is blocked. As it stiffens, and finally it falls, he curses, cries. It is high time to call the psychologist Daria Abramowicz to the board. The more that there are many questions about the standards of her work” – writes Łukasz Jachimiak from Sport.pl.
