Iga Swiatek was dominant on the WTA tour for the first several months of the year. However, her play began to decline slightly after winning her fifth Grand Slam at the 2024 French Open (fourth at Roland Garros).
Swiatek, who is usually unstoppable on clay courts, only earned a bronze medal in the Paris Olympics. She would eventually pull out multiple tournaments before shaking up her coaching staff.
Earlier this month, Swiatek announced that she had parted ways with her longtime coach, Tomasz Wiktorowski. It was a shocking move, considering she had a record of 54-7 with five titles and a World No. 1 ranking this year.
After 11 days, Wiktorowski has finally broken his silence after being relieved of his duties as Swiatek’s coach. The veteran tennis coach gave an interview to Maciej Skorupa with the Polish media outlet Przegląd Sportowy.
