“Iga Świątek’s SHOCKING Career Revelation: ‘This Wasn’t the Path I Wanted,’ Says Mother Dorota!”

In a surprising turn of events, Dorota Świątek, mother of tennis superstar Iga Świątek, has dropped a bombshell about her daughter’s early career aspirations. Behind the trophies, victories, and fame, there lies an untold story of how Iga’s tennis career almost never happened.Dorota revealed in a recent interview that tennis was not the original dream for the three-time Grand Slam champion. “This wasn’t the career I had in mind for Iga,” she said. According to her, young Iga was initially drawn to something very different, something far away from the clay courts of Roland Garros.Before tennis became her full-time pursuit, Iga’s interests leaned toward academics, particularly in the world of science and engineering. Her mother explained how Iga was always fascinated by physics and even toyed with the idea of becoming an engineer, much like her father, Tomasz Świątek, a former Olympian and rowing champion who encouraged sports, but left the door open for other passions.As a child, Iga would spend hours immersed in her books, solving complex problems and working on projects that showcased her brilliance outside of sports. The family home was filled with tools, models, and books—nothing that screamed “future tennis legend.” But a key moment came when, at the age of 10, she started playing tennis more seriously, initially as just another hobby.“She was always good at it, but it was never the original plan,” Dorota confided. “We supported her interest in sports, but for the longest time, it looked like she’d take a more academic path.”Iga’s meteoric rise in the tennis world almost never materialized, as the family once had to make a crucial decision between focusing on her schooling or giving tennis a serious try. Dorota admits that they hesitated but eventually decided to let Iga follow her passion on the court, all while maintaining her academic prowess.As the world knows today, the tennis court became her stage. But what if things had gone differently? Would the world be marveling at Iga Świątek the engineer instead of the tennis sensation we now adore?Her mother’s revelation adds an intriguing layer to the image of the young tennis icon. Could Iga have dominated in an entirely different field if not for a last-minute shift? We may never know, but what’s certain is that the world of tennis is all the better for her decision to swap books for rackets.And yet, the shadow of “what if” lingers—did we almost miss out on Iga Świątek, the tennis prodigy, because of a different path she might have chosen? One thing is clear: her journey is far from over, and who knows where her talents will take her next!
