Shvjontek Addresses Polish Media Scrutiny: I Hope Theyll Just Let Me Be

Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek shared her thoughts on the attention she has received from Polish media, particularly in light of recent critical articles about her.

On July 12, for the first time in her career, Iga Swiatek secured a victory at Wimbledon, defeating American player Amanda Anisimova with a score of 6-0, 6-0.

— Over the past year, many have had doubts about you. Winning the Wimbledon final 6-0, 6-0 certainly seems like a powerful response to those criticisms.
— As public figures and athletes, we can’t react to everything that happens around us. It’s crucial for us to concentrate on ourselves. Sometimes that’s easy, and at other times it’s more challenging. In recent months, the Polish media, unfortunately, hasn’t been very kind in its treatment of me and my team. I hope they will simply leave me alone and allow me to focus on my work. As you can see, we know what we’re doing. I am surrounded by the best people. I have already proven a lot. I understand that people desire more and more, but this is my personal journey, my life, and my career. I hope they will grant me the freedom to do my job in my own way, — Swiatek remarked during a press conference.
