Swiatek\u2019s long-time physio has given an update on her coaching situation, while the Polish star is also reportedly set for a linkup with tennis legend Rafael Nadal.<\/p>\n<p>Following a shock loss to Magda Linette at the Miami Open,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/iga-swiatek\">Swiatek<\/a> parted ways with Wim Fissette, who had been her coach since October 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Swiatek won three titles during her time working with the Belgian coach, with her triumph at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships the high point of their collaboration.<\/p>\n<h2>Swiatek\u2019s physio reveals \u2018plan\u2019 for new coach<\/h2>\n<p>Maciej Ryszczuk, who has been Swiatek\u2019s physio since 2020, spoke to\u00a0Polish outlet <em>Fakt<\/em> after the former world No 1 split with Fissette.<\/p>\n<p>Swiatek\u2019s next tournament is the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, which will begin on April 13.<\/p>\n<p>Ryszczuk revealed that the plan is for Swiatek to have a new coach in place for Stuttgart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the plan. Iga would like to work with the new coach as soon as possible, preferably at the next tournament,\u201d he explained. \u201cWhether that will happen is still hard to say. We\u2019ll see how the next few days unfold.<\/p>\n<h2>Iga Swiatek News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/iga-swiatek-former-world-no-1-spotted-tension-with-wim-fissette-and-a-couple-of-red-flags\"><strong>Iga Swiatek: Former world No 1 spotted \u2018tension\u2019 with Wim Fissette and \u2018a couple of red flags\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/iga-swiatek-wozniacki-former-coach-not-a-fan-wim-fissette-opinion-poles-next-coach\"><strong>Iga Swiatek: Wozniacki\u2019s former coach \u2018not a fan\u2019 of Fissette as he shares opinion about Pole\u2019s next coach<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?

These are her decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, she can ask us for our opinion, but it\u2019s our job to support her, regardless of the decision she makes. It\u2019s crucial that she feels good on and off the court. That\u2019s our role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he was consulted on the decision to fire Fissette, Ryszczuk said: \u201cIga always puts the final touches on the project and makes the final decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, in most cases, once she decides something, she consults with the team on further steps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe never plans everything from A to Z on her own. Even if she has a plan ready, she asks for our opinions to see if we agree.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we disagree, we simply discuss it further. Everyone is involved in the process, but the final decision always rests with her.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Swiatek to train at Rafael Nadal\u2019s academy<\/h2>\n<p>According to a report from Polish outlet <em>Przeglad Sportowy Onet<\/em>, Swiatek plans to travel to the Rafa Nadal academy in Mallorca to train in preparation for the clay season.<\/p>\n<p>The six-time Grand Slam champion reportedly intends to be with a candidate being considered as her new coach for the trip to Mallorca.<\/p>\n<p>Swiatek idolises <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/rafael-nadal\">Nadal<\/a>, who won 22 majors during his legendary career.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/watch-elena-rybakina-argues-coach-stefano-vukov-jessica-pegula-miami-open\">Watch: Elena Rybakina says \u2018what are you talking about?\u2019 to coach in argument during Miami Open win<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iga Swiatek set for Rafael Nadal linkup as her physio reveals \u2018plan\u2019 for new coach\u00a0 Ewan West 26 Mar 2026 1:45 PM Iga Swiatek and Rafael Nadal Iga Swiatek\u2019s long-time physio has given an update on her coaching situation, while the Polish star is also reportedly set for a linkup with tennis legend Rafael Nadal.
