‘Fed Up With This World’- Iga Swiatek’s Ex-Coach’s Split With WTA Legend Comes Into Picture as Tennis Coach Draws Major Parallels
Iga Swiatek bid farewell to coach Tomasz Wiktorowski, embarking on a new journey as she seeks to elevate her career to the next level. As she prepares to work alongside Wim Fissette, her new coaching partner, echoes of her past still linger in the air. Lech Sidor, shed light on Wiktorowski’s previous split with Agnieszka Radwańska, revealing how that partnership didn’t quite hit the mark.
Previously coaching Polish sensation Agnieszka Radwańska, Tomasz Wiktorowski, joined Iga Swiatek’s squad in 2021 at a critical juncture in her career. Wiktorowski joined Swiatek to help her hone her talents and strategy after Swiatek realized she needed a new approach to her game. She developed significantly under his tutelage, leading to outstanding accomplishments, such as being the world’s number one. Swiatek’s playing style was greatly influenced by Wiktorowski’s knowledge, which allowed her to adjust and succeed on the WTA tour.
Lech Sidor talked about Swiatek’s recent change, looking back into Swiatek’s ex-coach’s past where he worked with Radwańska from 2011 to 2018, and talked about how he is able to get into Wiktorowski’s skin. He said to Sport.pl, “Let’s remember that after breaking up with Radwańska, it also seemed that he was a bit fed up with this world, because not everyone knows that it only looks so good on TV. However, in real life, it is terrible torture.”
