Iga Swiatek \u201cwanted and worked for more\u201d after the Polish star revealed that the pair had ended their coach-player partnership.<\/p>\n<p>Former world No 1 Swiatek <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/miami-open-iga-swiateks-full-statement-as-she-confirms-split-from-coach-wim-fissette-after-early-exit\">announced on social media that she and Fissette had parted ways, saying that she had \u201cdecided to take a different path\u201d to the Belgian coach.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was an intense time full of challenges and many important experiences,\u201d Swiatek wrote. \u201cI\u2019m grateful for his support, experience, and everything we achieved together \u2013 including one of my biggest dreams in sport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The split comes after Swiatek\u2019s shock 1-6, 7-5, 6-3 defeat to world No 50 Magda Linette in her opening match at the 2026 Miami Open last week.<\/p>\n<p>The world No 3 has endured a difficult 2026 campaign so far by her lofty standards, having amassed a 12-6 record and not progressed past the quarter-finals at any tournament.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/iga-swiatek\">Swiatek<\/a> had worked with Fissette since October 2024. Fissette has coached a host of other WTA Tour stars, including Kim Clijsters, Simona Halep, Angelique Kerber, Victoria Azarenka, Zheng Qinwen and Naomi Osaka.<\/p>\n<p>The highlight of Swiatek\u2019s collaboration with Fissette was winning her maiden Wimbledon title in July last year, which was her sixth Grand Slam title overall. The 24-year-old also claimed titles in Cincinnati and Seoul during her time with Fissette.<\/p>\n<h2>Tennis News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/alcarazs-blunt-comments-to-his-team-and-telling-pressure-admission-as-sinner-sends-world-no-1-message\"><strong>Alcaraz\u2019s blunt comments to his team and telling \u2018pressure\u2019 admission as Sinner sends world No 1 message<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/rennae-stubbs-worrying-iga-swiatek-assessment-floats-drastic-coaching-change\"><strong>Rennae Stubbs makes worrying Iga Swiatek assessment and floats idea of drastic coaching change<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?
