Fissette Blames Coaching Fit for Swiatek’s Struggles

Wim Fissette admitted that his partnership with Iga Swiatek never clicked, citing discomfort and a language barrier as key issues. Swiatek will look to regain form at the Charleston Open on April 5.

Fissette said Swiatek was unhappy from the start and that the coaching dynamic didn’t match her experience under Tomasz Wiktorowski. He highlighted language barriers and a pre‑existing team structure as obstacles that made the partnership difficult.

After her early exit at the Miami Open, Swiatek will face Magdalena Frech at the Charleston Open, hoping to bounce back under new coach Francisco Roig and regain momentum.
