Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, and Other WTA Stars Receive Strong Reassurance From Director Garbine Muguruza for Riyadh-Hosted WTA Finals
Iga Swiatek is ready to make her much-anticipated comeback at the WTA Finals in Riyadh, and she’s got a fresh wave of optimism. After parting ways with her former coach, Tomasz Wiktorowski, Swiatek took some well-deserved time off to recharge amid the whirlwind of the WTA tour. Now, she’s teaming up with Wim Fissette, the former coach of Naomi Osaka and Kim Clijsters. This collaboration aims to help her regain the momentum she had achieved earlier in the season. Adding to the excitement, WTA Finals Tournament Director Garbine Muguruza is stepping in as a guiding force for Swiatek and the other finalists at the event!
On October 28, Garbine Muguruza, the newly appointed director of the WTA Finals, shared her vision for the upcoming event. “I can bring the player’s perspective to the event. This is something the WTA didn’t have before in this tournament. Knowing what the players might need, might feel, being there for them, talking to them and making sure they have everything they need — that’s my job,” Muguruza was quoted as saying by the official website of WTA.
The former world No. 1 emphasized her ambition to elevate the finals to new heights earlier in an interview with Arab News as well on October 12, stating, “The objective is to make the finals the most glamorous and prestigious event because I think the players deserve it.”
