Tennis is one of the most strenuous sports on the physical side, but almost unbeatable on the mental level. The athletes have to make decisions within milliseconds alone on the pitch, push themselves in high phases and motivate themselves again in difficult moments. There is almost no off-season and you have to be in top physical and mental shape all the time. So it's clear that many players are looking for a balance off the court.
Swiatek relaxes with books
For the Polish Iga Swiatek, this is reading. “I want to motivate myself to read as much as possible because reading helps me balance my life and work.” On social media, Swiatek invites her followers to follow her in her goal. She announced that she would also post reviews.
Books for tennis fans
If you now want to join the three-time Grand Slam winner and also want to pursue your passion for tennis, we have the perfect reading tips for you. For those new to reading who prefer fiction rather than non-fiction, best-selling author Taylor Jenkins Reid's "Carrie Soto is Back" might be something for you. Carrie Soto, a tennis legend, is trying to maintain her Grand Slam record and is therefore coming back to the tour. An exciting story about a woman in tennis who doesn't give up. If you want to mourn the Swiss maestro, who unfortunately left us in September 2022, or if you want to deal with Federer again, the biographies of Christopher Clarey or René Stauffer are something for you. Or you can take a look at Angie Kerber's new book. As you can see, the possibilities are endless. So... who will accompany Iga on her journey?
