Iga Swiatek Hires Wim Fissette as Coach

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek has announced the hiring of Belgian coach Wim Fissette as she prepares for the upcoming WTA Finals in Riyadh. This follows her recent split from Tomasz Wiktorowski, with whom she enjoyed significant success, including four Grand Slam titles. Swiatek expressed her excitement about working with Fissette, highlighting his extensive experience with top players like Naomi Osaka and Angelique Kerber, and emphasizing her long-term career perspective. Fissette, who has a solid reputation in women's tennis, aims to help Swiatek improve her performance beyond clay courts, where she has found considerable success. Swiatek has not competed since her quarterfinal loss at the US Open in early September, citing exhaustion, and is eager to return to the court. The partnership represents a fresh start for both Swiatek and Fissette as they aim for future successes together.
