Coach Wim Fissette and Iga Swiatek are saving big changes for the off-season.
Tennis fans have not seen Iga Swiatek in action since her loss to Jessica Pegula in the US Open quarterfinals. Despite missing the entire Asian swing of the WTA tour, it has been an eventful two months for Swiatek.
In early October, Swiatek abruptly fired her coach Tomasz Wiktorowski, who had been with her throughout the most successful three years of her career. Almost two weeks later, Swiatek hired Naomi Osaka’s ex-coach, Wim Fissette.
With the WTA Finals starting tomorrow, fans and media are interested in seeing what changes (if any) Fissette has made to Swiatek’s game. The five-time Grand Slam champion gave a refreshingly candid answer when asked about her new coach on Friday.
Iga Swiatek says she’s not a complete player… she wants to improve her serve, tactics, and have more variety
“What specifically around your game are you hoping to make changes with with Wim Fissette?”
Iga: “If I’m going to answer that, then everybody is going to know what is…
Swiatek said, “If I’m going to answer that, then everybody is going to know what is my weaker side (laughs). No, I mean, I think it’s kind of obvious. I for sure want to improve my serve, as I’ve been doing for past years. I feel like I still need to continue that. For sure, I’m not a complete player.”
