“We Never Talked About It”- Is Iga Swiatek Gay? Father of World No. 1 Tennis Star Finally Reveals Her Relationship With Aryna Sabalenka
World number one Iga Swiatek‘s father Tomasz revealed that he never really discussed his daughter’s relationship with Aryna Sabalenka. Tomasz was asked about the nature of his daughter’s relationship with the Belarussian Sabalenka in an interview. The two women have forged one of the biggest rivalries in tennis in recent times.
When Tomasz was prodded, he said, “We never talked about it, but I’m sure they respect each other as players. It’s also not like all these girls are sitting together in the locker room and socializing there.”
“Rather, they just go in to change before and after the game or training, just for a while, and go back to work with their team,” Iga’s father (via Tennis World USA). Iga and Sabalenka are currently ranked 1 and 2 in the world.
22-year-old Swiatek is already a 4-time Grand Slam champion. 3 of her major titles have come at Roland-Garros. Iga won the other title at the US Open in 2022. While Sabalenka won her first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open this year.
Tomasz also opened up about his daughter’s competitive nature. He said, “She was always a kid who wanted to compete. First with her older sister, then with rivals on the court.”
“As a ten-year-old, she said: ‘Let’s go to a tournament for older girls because we’ve already beaten everyone here. She was always looking for new challenges, that’s what she had left.” he added.
Iga fights for every single point and does not spare her opponent an inch. It is one of the things that makes her rivalry with hard-hitting Sabalenka such a treat to watch.
Is Iga Swiatek gay?
Swiatek is a formidable player on the tennis court, but not much is known about her personal life. Leave it to the fans to speculate about these details. One of the most common speculations is about her sexuality.
Despite finding success as a professional tennis player, Swiatek keeps her personal life under tight wraps. She is up for discussions about anything but her sexuality and love life are strictly off-limits.
Over the years fans have conjectured that the Polish player might be gay. Users have openly talked about it too. “Iga Swiatek is gay. No one can change my mind,” said a fan.

Some fans are of the opinion that Swiatek might be a closeted individual, so she does not lose out on sponsorships. For now, Iga is focused on winning more titles.
Unless Iga opens up about her sexuality, fan speculation will persist. Speculation harms no one, and fans, particularly queer fans, look for ways to connect with their idols. So is Iga gay? We do not know yet.
