Iga Swiatek’s father, who is frequently found cheering for her daughter from the stands in her tournaments, was there when Swiatek won her initial rounds in Paris this year. Now, as she gears up to compete against Jasmine Paolini, hopefully, the tennis world will again find him supporting the four-time grand slam champion in the final match. Although Swiatek and her family now enjoy her remarkable success at the top, following her passion for tennis didn’t come without its challenges.
Shedding light on the matter, Swiatek’s father once said, “I always had dreams, but realizing them was not so easy. It has long been known that Iga has a gift for playing. There was a moment when I was against the wall financially. When I explained to Iga that there might come a time when we would have to stop training, I was convinced to try again.”
