The Canadian made it to the third round at Roland Garros during her debut last year, and she’s looking to push even further in 2026. Now working alongside one of the most respected coaches on tour, it will be interesting to see how far Mboko can go this season.

It’s still unclear whether this is a full-time partnership, a trial period, or just a one-off training session. If Mboko has indeed secured a long-term arrangement with Fissette, it will be fascinating to see how her game evolves on tour.
Fissette is widely respected in tennis circles and has guided four different players to Grand Slam victories. He helped Swiatek capture the Wimbledon title last year, though their partnership ended in March after a string of underwhelming results. Mboko is still chasing her first major title.
If she has decided to bring Fissette on board, she’ll be hoping his experience can help her make that breakthrough this year. It’s worth noting that Roland Garros remains the one major Fissette hasn’t won as a coach. Even Swiatek, despite being one of the top clay-court players of her era, found success hard to come by on clay during their time together.
