The last weeks around have been very turbulent. Our best tennis player had a weaker second part of the previous season and announced a change of coach a few weeks ago. Świątek broke up with Piotr Sierzputowski, and Tomasz Wiktorowski took his place.
The new coach Świątek announced that the 20-year-old player will now put more emphasis on playing in singles. This will come at the expense of starts in doubles, in which Świątek had very promising results last season in tandem with. The players reached, among others to the final of the Grand Slam Roland Garros or the semi-finals in Miami.
Swiatek will not play in doubles in Australia
The changes in the Christmas schedule are evidenced by the fact that the Polish woman did not report to the doubles tournament in the upcoming Grand Slam. Świątek will only play in the singles tournament, which she will play as the ninth player in the world.
However, before Świątek starts in Melbourne, the season will begin in Adelaide, where she will be defending the title she won a year ago. The tournament in Australia will start on January 10th.
The Australian Open will run from January 17-30. It will be the fourth start in this tournament for Christmas. In the first, in 2019, it reached the second round. In the next two starts she was eliminated in the 4th round. A year ago, Simona Halep was better than the Polish woman, who won 3: 6, 6: 1, 6: 4.
