Iga Swiatek has teamed up with Wim Fissette in a major change to her coaching set-up ahead of the WTA Finals. Fissette, 44, is a veteran of multiple Grand Slam successes working alongside the likes of Kim Clijsters, Simona Halep and Naomi Osaka.
Swiatek said on social media: “I’m excited and motivated to start a new chapter. I’m happy to announce that Wim Fissette is joining our team. As you know, I’m preparing for the WTA Finals but my perspective is, as always, long-term, not short-term.
“I said many times that my career is a marathon for me, not a spring and I’m working, operating and making decisions with this approach. I want to say that I’m very excited and looking forward to working with Wim.
“He seems to have a great attitude, vision and huge experience at the very top level of tennis. It’s always crucial to get to know each other better but we’re off to a good start and I can’t wait to compete soon.”
