Swiatek and Daria are often spotted hanging out together. During her recent Indian Wells loss, Daria Abramowicz was spotted screaming from Swiatek's box. Nowicki reacted to the situation and shed light on the player-psychologist relationship.

"If we were to look at this relationship only and exclusively from the point of view of strictly psychological workshop, then it is indeed a disturbed relationship, in which certain boundaries of professional distance between the psychologist and the client are crossed," he said (translated from Polish).
