Tennis Rumor: Iga Swiatek’s Coaching Misery Could Cease as Journalist Claims Rafael Nadal’s Ex-Coach Might Be the One to Mend It All
Rafael Nadal’s retirement has stunned the tennis world! However, after overcoming the initial shock, his fans and peers are sending their best wishes to him, including Iga Swiatek who shared her special tribute for her “biggest inspiration” and idol in tennis on social media. Per the Pole, Nadal’s inspiring journey helped her stay motivated and push through boundaries! But will his retirement prove to be a blessing in disguise for the Pole who parted ways with her former coach, Tomasz Wiktorowski, a few days ago? Well, the journalist, Nacho Albarran, revealed how Swiatek’s coaching conundrum can finally end now!
With a strong start to the 2024 season, Swiatek, with her remarkable victories in the Qatar Open and Indian Wells followed by three consecutive clay-court triumphs, won fans’ hearts! But following an Olympic defeat (after securing a bronze medal), it seemed her scintillating form reached a halt. Not only did she withdraw from several tournaments, but also ended her ties of three years with coach, Wiktorowski. Now, the Pole who climbed the World No. 1 spot, and earned 19 singles titles, including her four grand slams, under Wiktorowski’s guidance, is looking for a “foreign coach.”
It seems that the 23-year-old player who potentially had a complex dynamic with her ex-coach does not need to worry! Think about this. With Nadal’s retirement in November, his coach (the former World No. 1 player), Carlos Moya, will be available for coaching from the next season. So will Moya, who worked with Nadal since 2016, join Swiatek’s team? Per the Spanish “Asa’s” journalist, Albarran (conversation with sport.interia.pl), “Carlos Moya would be a good trainer for Christmas. Moya played very well..knows this surface very well and knows a lot about tennis.”
