In a candid and heartfelt interview, world No. 2 tennis sensation Iga Świątek has shared rare insights into her personal life, revealing a side of herself that fans rarely see. The 24-year-old Polish star, known for her fierce dominance on the court with six Grand Slam titles to her name, including four French Opens, one Wimbledon, and one US Open, spoke openly about balancing her high-pressure career with matters of the heart.
“For a long time, I’ve kept my private life very separate from tennis,” Świątek admitted. “The court is where I feel most in control, but off it, I’ve been figuring out what really makes me happy. Love has always been something I’ve approached cautiously — it’s vulnerable, and vulnerability isn’t easy when the world is watching every move.”
Świątek, who has long been admired for her mental resilience and work with sports psychologist Daria Abramowicz, explained that her journey toward opening up stems from personal growth. “I’ve learned that strength isn’t just about winning matches; it’s about allowing yourself to feel deeply and build meaningful connections. I’ve been in a relationship for some time now, quietly, away from the spotlight. It’s been a grounding force amid the chaos of the tour.”
In a surprising and joyful announcement, the five-time major champion revealed that she is engaged and has set a wedding date for summer 2026. “We’re planning a small, intimate ceremony in Poland, surrounded by family and close friends,” she shared with a smile. “The exact date is set for July, after Wimbledon — fitting, since grass has brought me some of my happiest tennis moments lately. I can’t wait to start this new chapter.”
Though Świątek chose not to disclose her partner’s identity, citing a desire for privacy, she described the relationship as supportive and understanding of her demanding schedule. “This person gets the sacrifices tennis requires but also reminds me there’s life beyond the baseline. It’s exciting to think about a future that includes both my passion for the game and building a family.”
Fans have long speculated about Świątek’s romantic life, given her reserved nature and focus on philanthropy, reading, and mental health advocacy. Her openness marks a shift, perhaps influenced by her evolving confidence both on and off the court. As she prepares for the upcoming season, Świątek’s announcement adds a layer of warmth to her already inspiring story — proving that even the world’s top athletes find joy in love’s simple triumphs.
Congratulations pour in from the tennis community, with peers celebrating this milestone for the beloved champion. As Świątek continues to chase history in 2026, she’ll do so with an extra spring in her step, looking forward to saying “I do.”
