Iga Swiatek reveals one big area of her game she hopes to improve with her new coach

Iga Swiatek is preparing to make her return to tennis after an extended break and she is looking to finish the season on a high.

Switaek has not played since losing at the US Open against Jessica Pergula in September, as she admitted fatigue was the reason for her absence from the WTA Tour.

She has taken her time away from the court to reshape her team after adding new coach Wim Fissette to her team and she is looking to start their partnership on a high by winning the lucrative end-of-season WTA Tour event.

These are early days for Swiatek in her partnership with Fissette, but it is clear that she is looking to add a few more dimensions to her serve under Fissette’s watch.

Asked by reporters which areas of her game she is looking to build on, she smiled before offering up this answer.

“If I’m going to answer that, then everybody is going to know what is my weaker side,” said Swiatek.

“I think it’s kind of obvious. I for sure want to improve my serve, as l’ve been doing for past years. I feel like I still need to continue that. For sure I’m not a complete player.

“I think tactically there are many ways I could go and have more variety on court. Wim has some nice ideas.

“Honestly for now we’ve just been preparing for this tournament and getting to know each other. The real changes, we’re going to talk about them during the off-season because that’s the proper time to do it.
