Iga Swiatek splits with coach Tomasz Wiktorowski after three years


“His experience, analytical and strategic attitude and enormous knowledge about tennis helped us to achieve things I’ve never dreamed of only a few months after we started working together.”

Swiatek says she has held “first talks” with prospective new coaches and will take a “couple of weeks” to start work with her next appointment.

She is not playing at the ongoing China Open having withdrawn beforehand because of “personal matters”.

The 23-year-old won the French Open and US Open during her opening season with Wiktorowski.

During 2022, Swiatek embarked on a 37-match winning run – the longest streak by a woman this century.

The Pole won a fifth Grand Slam – her fourth with Wiktorowski – at Roland Garros in June.

But Swiatek was disappointed with her hard-court performances this season, exiting the Australian Open in the third round and the US Open at the quarter-final stage.
