Some fans took notice of a bizarre piece of commentary during Iga Swiatek's fourth-round clash against Ekaterina Alexandrova at the 2025 US Open. It involved a commentator referring to Swiatek's longtime sports psychologist Daria Abramowicz as the Pole's "life partner". Most of the fans who heard the words were left in disbelief.Abramowicz, a renowned sports psychologist and mental coach hailing from Poland, began working with a 17-year-old Swiatek in early 2019. Since then, the pair's professional relationship has remained intact, with Abramowicz having become one of the most influential voices in the former No. 1 and six-time Major champion's camp.After Iga Swiatek made it 40-0 in the eighth game of the first set during her US Open fourth-round win over Ekaterina Alexandrova, a commentator lauded the Pole's on-court mentality and Abramowicz's role in shaping it, before bizarrely making the 'life partner' reference.Aghast at the piece of commentary, fans on X (formerly Twitter) had their say."“Sports psychologist and a LIFE PARTNER”?????? is the commentary guy on drugs????," asked one fan."No cause did i mishear or what the F**K was that," the previous fan, clearly shocked, wrote in a separate post."You did not mishear it," another fan replied to the previous one."WTF," one added."What does he know," another chimed in."WHEN did he say that?? I totally missed it," weighed in one more in disbelief.Daria Abramowicz vociferously defends her position in Iga Swiatek's team; responds to scrutiny from recent pastDaria Abramowicz (right) talks to Iga Swiatek (left) during a practice session at the 2025 French Open (Source: Getty)Earlier this year, Dariusz Nowicki, another reputed Polish sports psychologist, made some concerning remarks about the relationship between Iga Swiatek and Daria Abramowicz. Speaking to Interia Sport, Nowicki said:"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."Later, at a pre-tournament press conference ahead of the Italian Open, Swiatek stood up for Abramowicz and the rest of her team members, saying:"This is my team – I decide who’s in it. The recent media pressure doesn’t create space for calm and focused work. On the contrary it creates additional, unnecessary stress."More recently, Abramowicz herself broke her silence on the question marks surrounding her relationship with the WTA No. 2. According to the sports psychologist and mental coach, she and the rest of Swiatek's team members work according to the six-time Slam winner's dynamic expectations from them."I do what is expected of me, what the athlete I work with asks me to do. And let’s move from that. If a player wants to have her own team, and if she wants us to, for example, not smile in the box, or cheer after every point, but rather look focused and be very meticulous, for example, or if she said before the match, ‘I need a lot of energy from you today, so I need a lot of “jazda” ('let's go' in Polish), and so on, then we’ll do it," Abramowicz told Break Point, a Polish tennis podcast.At the 2025 US Open, Iga Swiatek is set to play for a place in the women's singles semifinals against home hope Amanda Anisimova in the last eight. Swiatek and Anisimova's only previous meeting came in the final of this year's Wimbledon Championships, where the Pole 'double bageled' the American, who looked out of sorts throughout the contest.
