Iga Swiatek explains coaching split and what she wants next
Photo by Robert Prange/Getty Images Iga Swiatek’s long-standing partnership with Wim Fissette ended last week, marking a significant change in her coaching setup. The six-time Grand Slam winner found success early with Fissette, claiming three WTA titles together, including the 2025 Wimbledon Ladies’ Singles crown. But her form has since faded this year, and she hasn’t managed to add to that tally in 2026.
Announcing the split on Instagram, Swiatek admitted feeling “bitterness” over her recent results and said she felt it was time to “take a different path. ” She’s now spoken publicly for the first time since parting ways with Fissette, offering more detail about their final conversations before he left.

pl: “This is a matter between us. I don’t want to go into details. It’s certainly not something someone like me decides to do after one failure.
“I wouldn’t make such a decision hastily. Sometimes you can see me as an emotional person, but I really don’t make decisions impulsively. I’m quite rational.
I like to give myself time to make a decision. “Besides, I don’t make many changes to the team. I think it’s a very good approach.
