Question to Polish ppl - are ppl in your country aware that she might (def isn’t lol) not be straight? Any ongoing discussion about her love life?
Polish person here. Under some sports/gossip articles about Iga you can find comments mentioning that they think she isn't straight, or questioning her relations with Daria. I wouldn't say it is some very big gossip that everybody's aware of (it is probably only among those who are more interested in the topic of tennis or Iga herself) but it is definitely there, to some extent.
Also worth mentioning when I type both Iga and Daria's names in Google, it suggests "romance" lmfao, so looks like people are seaching that. I don't have a personal opinion on this one though, I don't know and maybe I don't want to know, but it is definitely kinda weird and unusual. However I do think she may not be straight, the thought came to me last year and got stronger over time.
And for instance: some time ago there was a gossip site article about how Iga was asked if she has a boyfriend/is single. Her answer apparently was "I'm a singles tennis player, yes"
(good answer for those stupid questions, btw). Under this article, I was surprised how many people said stuff like "why don't they ask her about the girls" or "don't they know she is
" and things like that. Many also said that they don't care and that "asking those questions is disrespectful, because she's an amazing sportsperson and people should focus on that when they ask her direct questions, not on her private life".
Iga has a lot of respect because of her achievements and for being a humble, down to earth girl, and not a pseudo fake celebrity.
