MIAMI — World No. 3 Iga Swiatek has parted ways with coach Wim Fissette, she announced on social media Monday morning. The move comes a few days after Swiatek was eliminated by Polish compatriot Magda Linette in the second round of the Miami Open.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Swiatek said the rest of her team will remain unchanged.<\/p>\n
“Sometimes life and sport bring moments like this,” Swiatek wrote in Polish on Instagram. “Miami was challenging for me. I feel disappointment, bitterness and responsibility for my performance on the court of course. I\u2019ve also learned a lot of important lessons and I think that\u2019s very human.<\/p>\n
“That being said, after many months of working together with my coach Wim Fissette, I\u2019ve decided to take a different path. It was an intense time full of challenges and many important experiences. I\u2019m grateful for his support, experience, and everything we achieved together — including one of my biggest dreams in sport.”<\/p>\n
Swiatek hired Fissette in October 2024 just ahead of the WTA Finals Riyadh after ending a three-year partnership with former coach Tomasz Wiktorowski.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the 2025 season on the WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz, Swiatek won three singles titles, highlighted by her sixth-career Grand Slam at Wimbledon. She also won a 1000 title in Cincinnati and a 500 in Seoul.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since, Swiatek has not advanced past the quarterfinal in any tournament, aside from winning the United Cup team title with her country where she went 3-2 in singles. In Miami, her defeat to Linette snapped a 73-match win streak of opening matches.<\/p>\n
“I’m super disappointed and upset with my performance,” an emotional Swiatek said to press after her defeat to Linette. “I feel like I carry a lot of expectations and I can’t really fulfill them right now. I need to get rid of them because my game hasn’t been good enough to have any expectations. I think I am a bit confused, but there’s no way but forward and I’m just going to try hard to work back from that.<\/p>\n
“It’s not easy when, on one hand, everybody would say that I’m super experienced and I won so much, but on the other hand, I’m kind of facing things that I never faced… I just need to get back to work and figure it out. There’s no other way.”<\/p>\n
In mid-April, Swiatek is next scheduled to compete at the WTA 500 in Stuttgart, Germany, where she is a two-time champion from 2022 and 2023.<\/p>\n
