Iga Swiatek spoke on her traumatic experience skiing after winning her firs round match at the U.S. Open on Monday.
By Julia ElbabaWorld No. 1 Iga Swiatek may be dominant on the tennis court, but she hasn't found that same success on the slopes.
While talking about her friendships with Olympic gold medalist skiers Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn, the 22-year-old Pole reflected on a traumatic time when she almost died skiing. "Last time I skied was when I was seven and I had accident that I could have died so I really got scared," Swiatek said after her first round U.S. Open win on Monday."I don't get scared that easily but this for sure stopped me."
Swiatek has been open about trying to be as versatile of a person as possible -- picking up skills beyond the tennis court. She has discussed her passion for music and guitar playing, as well.
