Known for her intense focus on tennis, Swiatek previously distanced herself from platforms like Instagram and Twitter, removing them from her phone to eliminate distractions. However, as her popularity soared, she realized the need to connect with her growing fanbase.
During an appearance on the Tennis Insider Club’s second season, Swiatek revealed how her perspective on social media has shifted over the years. “Before, I was all about tennis, tennis, and tennis,” she admitted. “I even deleted Instagram, Twitter, and email notifications. At the time, it helped me focus, but now, doing that for 40 weeks a year—it’s just not a life anymore. So, I’m mixing it up.”
