With the trophy tucked under one arm and a microphone held with the other, Swiatek’s first act as Wimbledon champion was hailing Fissette’s input.<\/p>\n
Improving her inner belief by focusing on footwork and solidifying her serve was the key. But piecing everything together across a whole tournament proved to be more of an exception than the rule.<\/p>\n
Swiatek, a natural introvert, plays her best when she has clarity and confidence, waiting for the opportunities to punish her opponents from the baseline. <\/p>\n
Fissette trying to develop her style over the past 18 months has often led to Swiatek becoming increasingly stressed when things are not going her way.<\/p>\n
Becoming flustered has led to wild fluctuations in her level and produced rash errors instead of her previously reliable groundstrokes.<\/p>\n
After one of the most deflating defeats of her career in Miami, Swiatek talked about feeling “confused” on court and how the game had become “complicated” in her head.<\/p>\n
She cut a forlorn figure when speaking to reporters – and her demeanour suggested a change in the coaching box would be coming.<\/p>\n
The rest of her team – psychologist Daria Abramowicz, physio Maciej Ryszczuk and hitting partner Tomek Moczek – remain in place. <\/p>\n
Some wonder whether Abramowicz – by Swiatek’s side at each of her Grand Slam wins – needs to be more accountable given the player’s problems arise from her on-court mentality.<\/p>\n
Quickly making the move to dispense with Fissette allows the opportunity to reset, and likely get back to basics, before four-time French Open champion Swiatek attempts to regain her ‘Queen of Clay’ crown in the next phase of the season.<\/p>\n
Ideally Swiatek wants a new coach in place when she returns to the tour at the Stuttgart Open, which starts on 13 April, and has opened talks with unnamed candidates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the trophy tucked under one arm and a microphone held with the other, Swiatek’s first act as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":555846,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-555845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=555845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555845\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/555846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=555845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=555845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=555845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
