As the tennis world gears up for the 2023 season, Poland’s player, Iga Swiatek, has wrapped up the initial phase of her training regimen. Following a well-deserved break, the WTA’s top-ranked player spent time in her home country before shifting her preparations to Abu Dhabi for the upcoming challenges on the court.
From Intense Polish Workouts to Abu Dhabi’s Warm Embrace
Swiatek’s post-WTA Finals retreat led her to the picturesque Maldives for a brief vacation. However, the respite was short-lived as the Polish athlete dove headfirst into her training for the impending season. Her time in Poland was marked by intense workouts, averaging 2 to 3 sessions a day, displaying her unwavering dedication to honing her craft. Now, the focus has shifted to the Middle East, where she continues her preparations in a conducive climate.
In a social media update, Swiatek shared insights into her preseason routine, stating, “First part of my pre-season done. Spent some time at home, practiced 2-3 times a day and had some (not much) time off to catch up on tv series and see my friends. I’m already in Abu Dhabi and I’m starting the final part of my pre-season in warmer weather conditions (sorry Poland).”
Swiatek’s Tennis Odyssey: A Packed Schedule Unfolds
The tennis prodigy’s schedule is brimming with action as she gears up for her initial appearances in Abu Dhabi. The World Tennis League’s showcase tournament, set to commence on December 21st, will witness Swiatek leading Team Hawks.
Following this showcase event, Swiatek’s journey continues with the United Cup (December 29th – January 7th), where she’ll join forces with Polish compatriots. The pinnacle of her early-season tournaments remains the Australian Open (January 14th – 28th).
