href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/miami-open-iga-swiateks-full-statement-as-she-confirms-split-from-coach-wim-fissette-after-early-exit\">The world No 4 and Fissette parted ways<\/a> after her disappointing form over the past few months, with the announcement coming on the back of her second-round defeat to Magda Linette at the Miami Open.<\/p>\n<p>The Belgian started coaching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/iga-swiatek\">Swiatek<\/a> in October 2024 following the departure of Tomasz Wiktorowski and the partnership got off to a slow start as the Pole failed to win a title in the first half of the 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>But it all came together at Wimbledon when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/iga-swiatek-reflects-on-wimbledon-triumph-instagram-post\">she won her first grass-court Grand Slam<\/a> at the All England Club and then finished the year with titles in Cincinnati and Korea.<\/p>\n<p>However, the 24-year-old has been sluggish so far in 2026 as she is yet to make it past the quarter-final of a WTA Tour event and she decided it was time for a change after the Sunshine Double.<\/p>\n<h2>Iga Swiatek News<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a

coaching team when he was at his peak \u2013 was immediately mentioned by Polish media, but both parties have kept mum about a link-up.<\/p>\n<p>Swiatek\u2019s manager Maciej Ryszczuk, though, did confirm that she will be<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/iga-swiatek-rafael-nadal-academy-help-new-coach-plan\"> training at the Rafa Nadal Academy<\/a> in Mallorca ahead of the clay-court season with many believing it signalled that the Pole will team up with Roig.<\/p>\n<p>The Spaniard coached 2021 US Open winner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanus-full-statement-as-she-confirms-francisco-roig-split\">Emma Raducanu from August 2025 until January this year<\/a> while he most recently worked with Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard at the Indian Wells Open and Miami Open.<\/p>\n<p>However, French publication L\u2019\u00c9quipe has confirmed that Roig has ended his collaboration with rising star Mpetshi Perricard with the Swiatek announcement expected in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>Swiatek herself didn\u2019t give too much away when she was recently asked by Sport.pl if Rafael Nadal had helped her to find a coach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe very fact that I have his number and can get in touch with him is a great honour for me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut to be honest, whether he helped me [in choosing a coach \u2013 rl] or not, I\u2019d like to keep that between us, because he\u2019s part of this story. I wouldn\u2019t want to put him in an awkward position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swiatek will next be in action at the Stuttgart Open with the tournament starting on 13 April and Ryszczuk said they were hopeful to have a full-time coach in place by then.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iga Swiatek: Wimbledon champion set to work with Rafael Nadal and Emma Raducanu\u2019s former coach Shahida Jacobs 02 Apr 2026 7:21 AM Iga Swiatek with Francisco Roig in the inset Six-time Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek is set to link up Francisco Roig following her split from Wim Fissette.
