Swiatek has been urged not to look too far during the hunt for her next coach by Caroline Wozniacki\u2019s father and former coach, Piotr Wozniacki, as he believes the perfect candidate is \u201cright under her nose\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Reigning Wimbledon champion <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\">Swiatek parted ways with Wim Fissette<\/a> after a difficult couple of months as she has failed to make it past the quarter-finals of any of her WTA Tour events so far this year.<\/p>\n<p>But the hammer blow came at the Miami Open last week when she was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/miami-open-iga-swiateks-worst-nightmare-as-star-stunned-in-historic-loss\">stunned in the second round by Magda Linette<\/a> as the six-time Grand Slam winner \u2013 who had a bye in the first round \u2013 suffered an opening-round defeat for the first time in 73 tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>Swiatek and Fissette started working together in October 2024, but the Pole initially struggled as she failed to defend any of her clay-court titles during the first half of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>But it all clicked at Wimbledon as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/facts-stats\/most-one-sided-wimbledon-womens-singles-finals-iga-swiatek-sets-new-record\">she won the grass-court Grand Slam for the first time<\/a> to complete the Surface Slam and then went on to finish the year with the Cincinnati Open and Korea Open trophies.<\/p>\n<p>However, it proved to be a false dawn as Swiatek made a stuttering start to 2026 and Wozniacki \u2013 who coached his daughter Caroline to No 1 in the WTA Rankings and the 2018 Australian Open title \u2013 admits he was not a fan of Fissette from the start.<\/p>\n<p>When asked by Sport.pl if he was surprised by Fissette\u2019s dismissal, he replied: \u201cI\u2019m not. I have to admit that when he was hired as Iga\u2019s coach, I wasn\u2019t a fan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know him, I have nothing against him, but it seemed strange to me that he worked with the players for about a year and then it ended. That\u2019s a very short time. With Iga, it was longer anyway, almost a year and a half. But there haven\u2019t been any good results lately.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Iga Swiatek News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/iga-swiateks-next-coach-emma-raducanu-carlos-alcarazs-ex-mentors-named-%3Cstrong%3Einsiders\"><strong>Iga Swiatek\u2019s next coach: Emma Raducanu\u2019s former mentor and two Poland coaches on list named by insiders<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/wim-fissette-comments-iga-swiatek-split-miami-open\">Iga Swiatek\u2019s ex-coach Wim Fissette makes \u2018wanted more\u2019 comment after split<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There were initially suggestions that Wozniacki could be among the candidates to replace Fissette, but the Dane himself as well as Swiatek\u2019s management ruled it out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll be happy to advise Iga and her father if they think it\u2019s worth calling me,\u201d he said. \u201cI gave them good advice once before. That was a few years ago \u2013 when they hired Tomasz Wiktorowski. I told them he would definitely be a very good choice, and he was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wiktorowski mentored Swiatek from 2021 until 2024 and during that time she won three French Open titles and the 2022 US Open crown while she also peaked at No 1 in the WTA Rankings.<\/p>\n<p>On the back of that good advice, Wozniacki believes he has another good candidate to coach Swiatek.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey should not look too far afield, because the best option is right under their noses,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s Dawid Celt. I\u2019m sure someone will say, \u2018What? Who has he managed?\u2019 But that doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat matters is that he knows Iga, that he can communicate with her, that they both think in Polish. And he\u2019s an ambitious bloke, and a really promising coach. I feel it would work out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Celt has captained Poland\u2019s Billie Jean King Cup since 2018 while he was also former world No 2 Agnieszka Radwanska\u2019s hitting partner from 2011 to 2018.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iga Swiatek: Wozniacki\u2019s former coach \u2018not a fan\u2019 of Fissette as he shares opinion about Pole\u2019s next coach Shahida Jacobs 25 Mar 2026 10:00 AM Iga Swiatek with Dawid Celt in the inset Iga Swiatek has been urged not to look too far during the hunt for her next coach by Caroline Wozniacki\u2019s father and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-1845704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1845704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1845704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1845704\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1845704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1845704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1845704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
