A former ATP pro shares his thoughts on Iga Swiatek's relationship with her psychologist

In recent times, Swiatek and Abramowicz have made the headlines for their relationship. Some fans haven't been best pleased with Abramowicz's work with the Pole. During an interview with Sports.pl, Janowicz suggested that Swiatek should maintain some distance from her psychologist for a better career.

"I'd rather call her a friend than a psychologist. Most good psychologists who work with the best athletes in the world tend to keep to themselves. We often don't even know they exist. A psychologist should keep their distance from the athlete so that too close a relationship doesn't interfere with their work," Janowicz said.
