It\u2019s not like we are just going to repeat what we did before, and I am stubborn,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cThere is a reason it took me a few months to try new things out.<\/p>\n \u201cI wish I was not that stubborn. I think it\u2019s a good thing and a bad thing. It\u2019s hard to get rid of it if it\u2019s bringing you some positives, but I am super stubborn.<\/p>\n \u201cMost of the challenges that occurred were basically me being stubborn or us not understanding each other because it\u2019s the first time that I have a coach who does not speak Polish.<\/p>\n \u201cThese are things you solve pretty quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n Before hiring Fissette, Swiatek had worked with Polish coach Tomasz Wiktorowski, with whom she won four Grand Slam titles.<\/p>\n 2022 French Open2022 US Open2023 French Open2024 French Open<\/p>\n Swiatek was coached by another Pole, Piotr Sierzputowski, before Wiktorowski, who guided her to her first major title at the 2020 French Open.<\/p>\n After her split with Wiktorowski at the end of 2024, Swiatek outlined her intentions to hire a \u2018non-Polish\u2019 coach in a post on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cDue to this important change on my team, I [will] give myself a couple of weeks to start a cooperation with a new coach,\u201d said Swiatek.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m in the middle of first talks with coaches from abroad (non-Polish), because I\u2019m ready to take the next step in my career.\u201d<\/p>\n Choosing to hire Belgium\u2019s Fissette, Swiatek quickly took the \u2018next step\u2019 in her career, winning her first Wimbledon title in 2025.<\/p>\n Wim Fissette\u2019s coaching record<\/p>\n Fissette was widely criticized earlier this year as Swiatek failed to deliver results under his leadership, but just how successful has he been as a coach?<\/p>\n![\"Iga](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2224166567-1-1024x631.jpg\")
