Summary
- Swiatek's psychologist is absent due to health issues.

- Swiatek has faced recent mental and performance struggles.

Iga Swiatek is competing at the 2026 Madrid Open with recent changes to her team, notably the absence of her long-time sports psychologist, Daria Abramowicz. Swiatek's manager, Daria Sulgostowska, confirmed that Abramowicz is dealing with health issues and will rejoin the team in Rome. Sulgostowska emphasized that team rotation is normal and dispelled harmful rumors surrounding Abramowicz's absence.
This situation arises as Swiatek has openly discussed her mental struggles during the recent Miami Open, where she experienced an early-round defeat. She noted that tennis currently feels complicated and requires a mindset improvement. Following Miami, she reached the Stuttgart Open quarterfinals but was defeated there. Swiatek will face Ann Li in the Round of 32 in Madrid after a recent victory.
