JAKARTA - Polish tennis player, Iga Swiatek, does not only have a charming face. His heart is very generous.
Previously reported, Swiatek showed concern for mental health issues. WTA's world number one has donated the prize money he got from winning the 2022 Agel Open tournament to nonprofit foundations in his country.
This is not the first time he has contributed to a mental health charity. He also did so last year to coincide with World Mental Health Day on October 10.
Why does Swiatek care so much about mental health?
He then told the story of the first time he had an understanding of mental health. At that time he communicated with sports psychologist Daria Abramowicz since the brilliant inaugural Grand Slam victory at Roland Garros 2020.
Since then, the 21-year-old has committed to playing an active role in eradicating mental health problems in the world.
He also invited fans, including tennis lovers, to contribute to mental health. No matter how many.
"I encourage everyone to donate even in small amounts to one of the charities, because together we can make a difference," wrote Swiatek.
Swiatek has not announced what charity will receive his assistance. He also did not mention the nominal amount of the prize to be donated.
However, his thinking was revolutionary. "I really want to play well in order to get a large amount of money to donate. I'm quite happy to do that," said Swiatek.
