Iga Swiatek and weakness are two opposite ends of a coin. Rarely has she shown any weakness, when it comes to her game. The Pole has gone on to dominate the WTA circuit and won numerous big titles, including 5 Grand Slams. However, the case is not the same when it comes to her personal life. The Polish star once candidly confessed her biggest weakness in her personal life.
Owing to the hectic schedule, Swiatek has had hardly any time to spend at home. As a result, cooking is something that is alien to her. Despite trying her hands at it, the Polish star hasn’t been very successful in this regard and she recently made an honest confession during an interview, as she said, “For cooking. I can’t even follow a recipe and that’s it, I guess. I know that when a stage in my life comes when I care about it, I will learn it, but now I don’t even have time for it.”
While she serves bagels and breadsticks on the court, Swiatek has found it difficult to follow recipes whenever she has tried her hands at it. Even a few years back, during a conversation with Tennis Klub, Swiatek was asked if she could cook and the Polish star firmly responded in negative, saying, “Oh no, I can’t cook. I’d really like to and I’d probably even find the time for it, but I’m completely untalented in the kitchen. I hope that won’t stop me from finding a husband (laughter).”

Further, Swiatek has been in much news of late in regard to the changes in her coaching team. Earlier this week, her psychologist broke her silence on the matter.
Daria Abramowicz admits to Iga Swiatek being a good boss
After the US Open setback, where she lost in the quarterfinals, Swiatek abruptly ended her partnership with Tomasz Wiktorowski and replaced him with Wim Fissette, who is Naomi Osaka’s ex-coach. However, there was widespread speculation that Swiatek’s partnership with her ex-coach did not end on good terms. Amid this, Swiatek’s psychologist, Daria Abramowicz was asked if the Polish star was a good boss.
Abramowicz said, “It’s hard for me to answer this question, also because I’m bound by professional secrecy – she began. – However, she is the kind of person who certainly finds her way around all challenges. I think that a good boss. And this is a feature that Iga has – a good boss, a good leader in a sense, is also the kind of person who understands the value of a team, who is able to surround themselves with competent and valuable people, and this is also a great value.”
