Iga Swiatek, the Polish sensation and five-time Grand Slam champion, didn’t waste any time in making her next career move. After ending a three-year partnership with Tomasz Wiktorowski, she’s bringing on Wim Fissette, a celebrated coach known for leading stars like Naomi Osaka, Simona Halep, and Kim Clijsters to the pinnacle of tennis. Swiatek expressed her long-term commitment in a heartfelt Instagram post, saying, “I’m happy to announce that Wim Fissette is joining our team… my career is a marathon for me, not a sprint.” Fissette, who recently split with Osaka, brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record with the world’s top players.
Swiatek is set to make her comeback at the WTA Finals in early November, where she and Fissette will debut as a team after a break since the US Open. After a challenging summer and some time off during the Asian swing, Swiatek seems refreshed and ready to return with a clear vision. The world No. 1 and her new coach are already off to a strong start, and fans can’t wait to see where this exciting partnership will lead as Swiatek continues to approach her career like the marathon she envisions.
