World No. 1 tennis player Iga Swiatek took a break from her successful career to celebrate an important person in her life – her mother. On her mother’s birthday, the 21-year-old Polish star took to social media to share a touching tribute.
In an Instagram post, Swiatek published a photo of herself hugging her mother with the caption: “You’re my everything. Happy Birthday Mom! Thank you for always being there for me with your endless support, love and bagels.”
The reigning French Open and US Open champion has been vocal about the vital role her mother Dorota plays in her life and career. Swiatek’s mom travels with her on the professional tour and is a constant source of strength and reassurance.
In her birthday message, Swiatek humorously referenced her mom’s delicious homemade bagels that provide comfort during the grind of the tennis tour. But the sentiment highlighted how her mother’s nurturing presence means everything to the young phenom.
The mother-daughter duo share an incredibly close bond that has only grown stronger through Swiatek’s meteoric rise over the past couple of years. In numerous interviews, Iga has spoken about her mom’s calming influence and ability to keep her grounded amid success.
While Swiatek dominates on the court with her powerful game, off the court she remains a devoted daughter who understands the importance of family. Her heartfelt words are a reminder that even for global superstars, the love and everything a mother provides can never be taken for granted.
So on this special day, the world’s best player celebrated the most important person in her life – her mom – with a simple but beautiful message: “You’re my everything.”
